it makes me laugh when people complain because they killed 2 enemies at 1/2 chance of a rare...
and didnt get it...
most don't realize the chance is 50/50 no matter how many times you do it...

i think that the 1/2 items are the hardest to get rares from i think, becuase you expect to get the thing after 2 enemies, but it can take 5, 6, 7, or 100 tries to get it. whereas, with the 87.5% ones, the odds are in your favor that you'll get it first try. the 1/2 chances are just more frustrating if you don't get it after a few tries because its always 50:50 that you'll get it.

Some people like to be able to explain things. I don't seriously believe in BTT, but I must say that there are times of day when I'm just plain lucky, at least with some characters. My HUmar found two photon drops and a Red Handgun with good percents yesterday, at about the same beat as the day he found the two Hildetorrs in one room, both carrying Frozen Shooters (one with hit). And that's just one example. But the point is, you'll have days when you find nothing, for a long time, and then a day when you're practically tripping over rares.
Trust me, when you start going for that Gal Wind you crave so badly, after five or ten runs you'll be frustrated enough to be looking for a way to explain it. :ermm:
