So there is roughly a 1 in 2500 chance this could happen. The odds of being struck by lightning are lower, yet people do get struck by lightning. This is no different, it's simply a statistically improbable event that came to pass. Sucks though, since I got my voidfangs from the first time he sold body engrams, and would like a praxic fire to play around with someday. Randomness can be awesome, but it can also majorly suck.

  • Well the chances ofbeing struck by lightning vary depending on circumstance, a random number generator does not.

  • Chances of winning a lottery are smaller than 1/2500 as well, yet every week someone wins! Your math is in no way proof that the statistics are wrong... it's still unfortunate though :)

  • But there are many people in that to factor in, it is repeated however amount of times people buy tickets, this is only repeated once

  • Chances of being struck by a meteor then? The point is, that if I have jar of a million black marbles and 1 white marble, it's still entirely possible that I could reach in and grab that white marble at random.
