Loot Laws - Which Do You Believe In?

You guys all know of those loot laws... But which are real??? Which are nonsense??? I think I have two true beliefs of loot: Loot resets at a certain time, and wishing directly for your desired weapon DOESN'T work. Wish for a famed weapon to get a legendary. It will take time though. Which loot laws do YOU believe in?
I got the Legendary Silver Freeze unknowingly following one of my Loot Laws.

From my blog:

Quote:
- Whenever you are not looking for a Famed/Legendary weapon, you will recieve one, and vice-versa.

- If you are looking for a specific weapon, you will get as many lower-level variations of that weapon as possible, as many times as possible, before one of your guild mates finds it.

- The one chest you never open will more than likely contain something valuable.

- When looting with a group, there is a 3 out of 4 chance that a Skull Chest drops, with all parties involved recieving a Famed Weapon, except for you.

- At least once a week, somebody will claim to have found a weapon with an attack power far superior to all currently existing weapons.

- There will always be somebody with a better weapon set than you.

My own personal beliefs:

-My luck shall always remain the worst out of everybody's. Rum anyone?

-whatever law there is, it all depends on luck.
-loot rotates and is not random, but all enemy (except foulberto) have a list that is too long to record (when I got my freeze, it also came with master knives like you, and I often got a chest with the same 2 knives I previously received)
-If you do not get a skull for awhile, the chances are the skull will appear when you are taking a break
-You get the same loot no matter how much damage you deal, whichever weapon you use.
-Disney will temper with Smash's loot and make it into 99% junk very soon.
-You get what you dont wish for, while others get what you wish for most many times.

- That one loot skulls chest you healed people for without attacking the enemy had your legendary in it.
- Any loot skull chest plundered while at sea containing a legendary weapon will invariably cuase you to disconnect.

Cozilles was THE best server for loot, like no joke if u stayed there u got everything. Like I got a friend who got full black clothing set and full bright green from hanging out on the Cozilles bridge in tormenta because it's just the best place. But that server was wiped away sadly so I no longer have my way to get amazing loot anymore.

I don't 'believe' in any loot laws because any I've seen don't work.

All I know is that it's random, and even for Smasho. Smasho is a more... straight forward example for your chance at certain weapons. Most of the time you'll get rare or common weapons from him, but ever third(possibly) or forth drop, you'll get a famed. It may take three hours, and thirty loot drops before you find the silver freeze.

There's no real loot laws that I've seen. I have a 5% chance(after 500 drops that I've studied) to find a famed weapon. With smash, around 20% for me after studying only 20 drops.

All we really know is that it's random. Because you happen to get lucky by fighting enemies at certain hours you think it's fact? Do that about 100 times and if every time it works, I'll believe it, but odds are you're getting lucky. It'd be easier for disney, anyways, if they just made it random. They wouldn't have to worry about wasting time with making certain weapons available in certain servers, times, etc... And it'd be more fair for everyone if weapons just had certain rarity, instead of being found at certain times of the day.

I went at 12:30 am PST and use my gun, didnt get very aggressive with shots, tried to make the ones I made ...... count, and I revived a lot of people who got knocked out. After participating in 4 kills, I got the Silver Freeze Legendary weapon !!!!!

Another pirate that was there when I was said he knows for a fact that there is a hidden "karma" value for every pirate worked into the Algorithm at POC.

Do any of you know any more about this?

I guarantee my luck is far worse.

As for the loot laws? I get better loot when I'm expecting none at all. My best sword came from killing a random something because I was bored.

I do seem to get different loot in different servers; I put my server choice at random.

- I get good items when I'm not looking for one.

- When I get a crude weapon one of my friends gets a legendary.

- When I'm fighting FoulBerto Smasho the one skull chest that i miss because nobody revives me is the one that has a Legendary in it.

- My luck is worst of all. No Famed items in two months.

Guss I'll just have to keep looking though.
