So what do you think is an accurate sample, what's an acceptable margin of error and do you think anyone in their sane mind would ever kill that many?

I guess it depends on what the original alleged % is, but in general I think it's tough to call any personal experience in EQ "accurate" regardless of how many mobs or cycles you've gone through.

Anyone who has played this game for a long time knows that whatever your experience will be with a camp, mob, etc. is impossible to predict since the RNG can be simply insane. Use the goblin ghazi ring as an easy example: I've had an experience where I killed like 20 PHs, had 4 couriers spawn, and one of them had the ring. I've also had another experience where I killed a few hundred PHs, probably saw 10 couriers, and none had the ring. Because of RNG every anecdotal experience is of very limited value when assessing percentages.

There was another post a few months ago where there was a great, detailed discussion on this. I'll see if I can find it.
