Check this screenshot
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=247988840 (All radiants Slo-Lost-Soul (my brother) found were from depth 28 treasure vault. I found 15 and those were from depths 24 to 28 (9 in treasure vault, 3 from depth 27 and 26)

I played a lot of tier 2 danger rooms with Slo-Lost-Soul last days to get some cr and advanced orbs. In all of these days I found a few orbs and Slo-Lost-Soul found many more than me. It also found more sparks... 10 in just a few days when I found my last one a lot of weeks ago!

That may be just bad luck for me and perfect luck for my brother but if there realy is posibile that lower ranks has better chance to find rarity then please fix that OOO because this is unfair :(

What do you think everyone?

Just try it then if you don't

Just try it then if you don't belive. Make another knight and you will see. That was also happening months ago. I am not that stupid to make post about this just because of a few days so this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia is not answer.

EDIT: However you can't say it is not imposibile they made so lower ranks can find them easier to let them easier reach last rank.

could analyze, if we had data

Probability and statistics let you analyze the chances of a discrepancy like this happening at random. But for us to do the analysis, we'd have to know exactly what happened, including details to convince us that you're reporting the whole story, with no hidden bias. How many runs did you do together, how many treasure boxes did you open, how many of each resource did you find, how many did he find, etc.

Coincidence and correlation

Coincidence and correlation does not equal causation. Your friend is lucky, that's it. I have found sparks or orbs daily for the last week or so. Drops are all about luck, they're just luckier at the moment than you are.

Also your friends have 10 dark matter and 3 crimsonite, a number that is impossible to get just from D28 with 3 people. So it is very likely that Slo picked up some of those Radiants on D27 and just didn't realize it.

Edit: Did a test as I was bored. At the beginning of D28 Treasure Vault my main character (rank 10-1) had 29 Radiants. Alt 1 had 0 (rank 2-1), Alt 2 had 3 (rank 2-1), and Alt 3 had 0 (rank 2-2). At D29 they had found: Main got 6 (35 total), Alt 1 got 6 (and one Eternal Orb), Alt 2 got 12 (15 total), Alt 3 got 27.

The one that got 27 could have been, and has been before, just as easily a guild mate that was ranked 10-1 like me. It is all random.

I've been playing for a while as Recruit, (1-2) and it does feel as though I magnet all the materials in a run. I'm not always amazingly lucky with Radiants but I do get equal or more than the rest of my party more often than I don't.

Bopp, I played like 3 hours a

Bopp, I played like 3 hours a day in last 2 weeks so you can guess we did many runs and destroyed a lot of boxes and completed a lot of danger rooms. Btw I mentioned alredy that I found 0 sparks in last weeks when my brother found 10 in just a few days and he found like twice as much advanced orbs (and we were playing tier 2 arcade).

Gwenyvier, so it is realy just my very bad luck and my brother's awesome luck? Thanks for confirming that otherwise it realy wouldn't be fair if lower ranks had better chances to find rarity.
