One of the things that people don't understand is that even though the probability of any particular random event may be low, with enough iterations it will occur. Imagine that everyone in the United States flips a coin. If you flip heads, you are out. If you flip tails, you can stay in. Now suppose we repeat this process 25 times. The probability of flipping a coin tails 25 times in a row is 1:35 million roughly, so there will be some 5-10 people left. These people will then go on Oprah and write books about their fantastic skills at coin flipping.
So if you have a thousand people on the server someone is going to get utterly fucked by the RNG at some point. Someone somewhere is getting 10 charm breaks in a minute, going 0-20 on fungi tunics (wait, that's me), getting 5 mez resists in a row on LB mobs, etc. And conversely someone is having great luck. It's just the way of things, the way of the force.
