This aspect of probability is only true if you assume no other conditions.
Someone's got to say it so....
other conditions?
Is it raining? There's rain. Is there no rain? There. both conditions met on the 'will it rain' thing. For the nuke, same. Is there a nuke? If there is no nuke, there is no nuke. There are no middle grounds.
Odds of rolling a 6 11 times in a row? 50/50. Either you roll a 6, 11 times, or you don't. There is no other 'condition'. If you roll a 5, then you didn't roll a 6, and you fall on one side of the 50/50 divide. Roll 11 5s. same side. roll 11 6s? Other side.
Excuse punctuation it's late!
What is this? I don't even...

I'm just going to say lol.
0.47 on getting tails? No, it's 50/50.
Tow things will happen. 1. You will get tails. 2. You won't. That's 50/50 to me.
Odds of rolling a 6. You mention rolling in a row, rolling different numbers? Either you roll the number you state you will roll, or you don't roll that number. 50/50 :)

Before you think everything is 50/50, take a quarter, and start flipping it, calling it in the air, and see if the heads and tails pop up exactly half and half.

Sorry, that is not probability. That is semantic poppycock. Stay in school.
Perhaps it's you who should go back to school if you think I'm being serious? Moron.
(See? I didn't assume you were a kid, in school, as I am not. Patronising son of a...)

Perhaps you shouldn't say stupid things for no reason.

You remind me of those silly anarchist protesters who break windows and then pout and complain when the police catch them.

Personally I think MrSCH was serious and is trying to pretend he was trolling.
Either way, ultra-fail.

I love the way our society works these days. Either you're a child, or you're an adult, assumptions made and insults thrown around without a care in the world. So forgive me, if I came across like a child, it wasn't my intention. Just thought some fun could be had by all. Adults are allowed to be immature time to time, y'know.
To anyone who has an opinion on whether I was trolling, being serious, whatever, it's your opinion, enjoy it.

As said it is still there.
The drop chance is not cumulative. Killing one does not increase the chance it will drop on the next one. You could kill one and get it, then again you could kill 2000 and not see hide nor hair of it.
As some are fond of saying random loot is random.
I remember the first troll I killed in hinterlands gave me robes of insight. Imagine my surprise. My first and only world epic drop in three years of playing.
Indeed, if you take a statistics course you'll learn that you can, theoretically, flip a coin and get heads 1000 times and the chance will still be 0.5.
What about a coin landing on its side D:?

And you are very, very patronising. Quite annoying, too.
And you're acting like the 'adult' here? Yeah, totally not immature at all.
I like the internet. It shows people's true colours. I'm just glad I don't know you in real life.

3126 kills of the various mobs that drop the bag. Not one single, stinking oozling. Guildie decides to level mining in EP last week, and gets a bag on their first ooze kill. With an oozling in it. I gkicked them and put them on ignore.
(Kidding about that last bit, rng is so cruel sometimes. *cry*)
TLDR: Random is random. And cruel.
