Default Ever had a nice luck turnaround?

I was farming Gloom with my E/A and for about 10-20 runs I didn't get a single gemstone, then the next run I got one, and the run after that I got two of them. I feel this was Anet's way of saying sorry.

So many "green runs" in Sorrow Furnace with friends and guildies and never got a green. Then, one day, I went with a random PUG and got three greens!

Yes ..... the randomness of drops

Naw. My luck's always bad. The golds I do manage to get are req13 with a crippling and deathbane mod, and highly salvagable inscription.

my only wealth comes in the sheer volume of crap drops I get. I mean everything is worth something, so even those constant req 13 gold hammers with a 33% longer crippling duration are worth something.

I only get something decent when it turns out to no longer be rare.

My turnaround came when I finally had a Sup.Rune of Vigor drop. Otherwise, I'm usually terrible at drops. Zaishan chest = Cremes, 150 Fortunes before I get a Mini Pig (to later find out I could get them at the end), Birthday presents = Devourers. Oh well...

Everything is just so random. I Guess my best luck turn came when I got a mini bone dragon as a present after not seeing any good drops for weeks. That funded my characters for a while...

About 15 minipets, the first 14 were whites, and then, BAM, a purple one. That my friends is what I call a turn-around.

Nah, my luck has always been the same. Only the first one or two green/gold drops are for me, the rest all go to someone else...

I had less than five whites [and nothing else] for several raptor runs in a row. Then three golds, in a row, all Turtle bows, dropped. It was pretty weird how I killed three raptors and three of the same item dropped.

Me and my girlfriend will do dungeons and what not. However, the reward chest at the end. I always get the lamest drops known possible, and she gets the ones that makes you 50K+. I don't see how she is so lucky compared to me...

I had some good luck just now. I had a terrible PUG with just about the worst monk ever. Decent healbot, but just about the snottiest attitude outside PvP. The one guy covered at least half the "what do you hate about other players" thread -- drawing on the compass, insulting everyone, high on the smell of his own piss. It was getting intolerable, but I stuck it out. My reward? An annoying mission completed, and in my inventory was two gold drops and a shiny new key. Plus some random helpful materials, insignias, and runes.
