Yes your luck is broken!!!

Yeah for that to happen there are only 2 reasons I can accept as it is the complete opposite of the reality of the game I play and other people I can ask ingame of their experiences.
-
You have been shadowbanned or punished and are getting bad loot because of that,
-
You are trying to drop trophy prices.
Nothing else makes sense to me because none of this happens to me or any other person I could ask ingame.
2 Is the most realistic scenario and isn’t in any way a wild assumption. People do stuff like that all the time.
Luck gear should be more… rewarding. You should feel the difference between doing chest run with it… and without it… Right now… It’s not really the case. When we do runs with my guild, some do with luck gear… some without… and it the end… it’s more or less the same results.
After all, luck give you something like 4 or 5 k on a 100.000 dice roll… so it’s not much and barely noticeable.

I think I’d just like to close it up asking you and other people who believe there is not a single error in the luck calculations to just keep to yourself and let the devs tell us we’re stupid. And hey, if they find something wrong, maybe it will benefit you too.

I mean I’m just doom scrolling at this point. So not sure where I fit that narrative. Personally the worse things are the more crazy stories I get to share with the wife who is an FFXIV junky.
I’ve played MMO’s since the late 90’s. Usually at the cutting edge of content. In my experience nothing is a bug until someone gives definitive proof in a way that developers cannot ignore. (Then suddenly it’s “why weren’t proper channels used to report this issue.”)
My favorite was back in Vanguard Saga of Heroes. I was the first max Psionicist, and with my small group we found a combination of issues that could cause a certain spell to have uncapped damage. (TL;DR it was a spell that amped damage each time you used it, but also hurt you -which also amped-. We found two ways to combine to negate the damage feedback loop.)
The Psionicist community manager told me i was crazy even when I provided the method to replicate to them (There were ‘class leaders’ for each class on the community forums) It didn’t get fixed until I posted a top single damage hit of 6 million damage (the next highest were like 10,000), and screenshots of placeholder loot off a boss they made unkillable by giving it 1 million regen a second. For background Vanguard Sage of Heroes tracked and had leader boards for tons of statistics. So it was hard to ignore at that point.
You can believe whatever you want. No one can stop you. It doesn’t mean there we aren’t going to eventually find some insanely strange issues with loot. I assume most of your friends are the same faction? It’s fully possible we find in two months that whomever owns Weaver’s Fen is getting bonus luck in Shattered Mountain. Or something strange like that.
Nah. When I see a post of everybody complaining luck doesn’t work. I like to come in and let everybody know, that I do indeed roll in full luck and have like 9 Legendary named items from dungeons, get on average 2-3 Legendary BOES from Elite runs everyday, some days I will get none (THOSE ARE THE BEST DAYS ILL GET MORE NON RNG STATS LEGENDARIES IN DUNGEONS).
And this is the same for everyone else I talk to or play with ingame.
So to your average player on the fence thinking if luck is good/bad, take it from someone who is 590 every slot. 570+ all jewlery, that I have had no problems with my almost max level luck neither looting or gathering luck. I get multiple legendaries every single day and have questioned luck myself at points but have definitely decided ever since upgraded to full luck it does indeed work, so many more named legendaries!
Each can believe what they want!

@Luxendra Can you or another team member make a public statement here on the forums addressing this issue? I know many would appreciate it.

You literally don’t understand that I’m on your team. Another person already tagged lux and apologize for tagging him or her twice.
If you reread the thread, you’ll see I was asking someone else and we had a nice conversation.
incorrect they drop from small boxes too.
I got my stack deck from an Urn, not a chest or stockpile.
also i run full look and run morning dale run all the time ive done the run for weeks and gotten nothing. RNG Iis RNG and my RNG in game are dog shit 
funny thing is the only trophies ive gotten (2) have been when ui had low luck or forgot to put half my luck gear back on after a war.

Yeah, at least Elite chests still give nice WM bumps but the quality of items is trash. I keep getting 599 white items lol wtf.
Also, as some people have said on the forums already, there seems to be bugs with luck. I’ve noticed sometimes I don’t get anything, take all my gear off and re-quip it and good as new. RnG might be random but I have noticed a big change doing this.
I wonder if it’s related to bug where you need to re-equip repaired items.

Luck doesn’t seem to work very well to me either, or maybe it’s a bit of a confusing system. Maybe you could increase the amount of items you receive, for example if a chest were to give you five items with a 50% luck chance that it would instead give you seven or eight items. more items more chances that one is good
In 800 h of play most of them being chest farming, (i’m not a crafter / gatherer) i have got 2 trophe materiel t3 (one for the minig 1 armor) nothing else (bunch of corupted crest and 1 or 2 skull)
Could be RNG yea, then why on earth din’t they implement a pity system ?
After i upgraded all my loot trophies when the trophie lockdown was over i havent gotten a single epix or legendary trophy item. I went from one basic + 2 minor to 1 major + 2 basics. Before i could get as much as 3-5 upgrades each day but havent seen them since. there is defiently something weird going on with the loot luck bonuses.

Okay this may be a complete coincidence but I decided to re-equip all of my gear because I repair it incessantly. I pulled an adamantine dust and 600 lego hatchet from large supply chests on the next run. PvP flagged.

yeah those coincidences happen a little too often. That’s why I believe luck has bugs. Like everything else in this game…

That’s a coincidence. I would think most of us are changing clothes a lot during the day with crafting clothes, harvesting gear, new acquisitions etc. So it’s unlikely a ton of people are never changing clothes (re-equipping) and getting horrible luck as a result.
Here are a couple recent examples of how RNG is more random than it seems.
Ran Mangled Heights got 2 pairs of Armorer Pants in the same run. That was the 3rd pair in a 2 week period not even running everyday.
Needed to get a snail for fishing quest. Went over 100 casts before catching one then caught 2 in 3 casts.
You are correct they nerfed chest and mob
loot tables with the new gypsum system.
I have the achievement of searching 10,000 chests, 75% of them were made in kits with the luck perk, and I do not have a single improvement for the trophies of armor, weapons, arcana, engineering, and even more so luck. (there are 3 basic trophies in different houses, jewelry, bags and sets with 2.3-2.8%).
It’s a shame to know that my guildmate received 2 sets of cards and 1 dice, having only a set for luck and bags. With no homes and no trophies. Would make non-transferable trophies for reaching 5,000 and 10,000 chests, for example. Or for closing 100 dungeons and 250. But we have what we have. Some of them use tax money to buy top trophies and then drop upgrades for new ones, and these are passed on to the guildmates.
