Exotic duplicate madness: 70% of engrams turned into duplicates

First, I love TTK so far and IMO the new Three of Coin is a good idea. You play (everything but PvP) and get a chance for an new exotic. But the game is less and less enjoyable because of the massive amount of duplicates. Friday I bought about 65 coins. I played for more than 20 hours spending most of them in heroic strikes and a few patrol Taken events. I got 6 exotic Engrams which all turned into duplicates. I only own a few of the Y2 exotics and still I got 5 Hawkmoons, 4 Hereafters, etc. Am I the worst case scenario? Here is a list of all my dropped engrams: 7 primary engrams: 5x Hawkmoons, 2x TLW !!!! 5 secondary engrames: 4x Hereafters, 1x 4th Horseman 8 chest engrams: 4x Alpha Lupi (titan), 3x Alpha lupi (hunter), 1x Praxic Fire 2 glove engrams: 1x Impossible machines, 1x Immolation First (yeah) about 3 helm engrams: no duplicates (I don't remember which ones were Xured or dropped) 71% of my primary engrams turned into Hawkmoon. 80 % of my seconday engrams turned into Hereafter. 87.5% of my chest engrams turned into any form of Alpha Lupi. Overall 70% of my engrams turned into duplicates (not counting the first item)

    I have a theory that you have a higher chance to receive something you already own. Could be the way that their rng system is coded, since randomness is something computers can't actually do. If you are interested, there are some good articles about how computers cannot be random, particularly one from a few years back about how Apple had to add code in to the iTunes shuffle feature to keep the same artist from playing twice in a row.
