At the beginning of the April Update, I was rank 6 in crucible on my hunter, since I don't usually play much crucible. Since then I have ranked up to 22, thanks to tons of bounties, grinding, and rep boosters.
Out of all the rank up packages so far, I haven't received anything but armor. Specifically chest armor and boots. No cloaks, no helmets, and no gauntlets. Just chest armor and boots.
I started to do some math, and here's what I got: (correct me if I'm wrong)
-there are 22 items that you can get
-2 of those are chest armor and boots (duh)
-that means that there is a ~9% chance of getting chest armor or boots
The chance of getting chest armor or boots [b][i]16 times in a row[/i][/b] would end up being 5/1000, or 0.5%.
There is no way that any of this is RNG anymore. If you look at the rewards, the odds of getting a weapon is 17:5. So I should be getting weapons more often, right? Or are armor pieces more heavily weighted? If they are, then that means that it isn't a [i]random[/i] number generator.
Thanks for reading this far.

Edited by Szeth6678: 5/10/2016 5:02:20 PMI assume part of it is the fact that your chest armour on your Hunter is your lowest piece of gear, and everything else you can possibly get from those packages you already have filled with a piece of 335 gear.
