I'm bad at math but it seems you're worse. Someone double check but with 3 spawn points at 10% chance each to spawn means you should have a 3/10 chance of frenzy popping each spawn. With a 20% drop rate that means a 6% chance each spawn cycle to see a fbss. At 28 minutes a cycle you can expect to see one FBSS every 7.8 hours roughly, not sure how thy seems unreasonable to you. This also assumes the mobs are instakilled when they spawn etc so likely longer at 8-9 hours.
Sort of left out a factor here. Someone else camping frenzy spawn before you for, say, 4.8 hours. Then you could expect one to drop sooner, which it doesnt

It could also not drop for 6 months, what's your point? Statistically you can expect one fbss every 8-9 hours, doesn't mean it couldn't drop on the first repop or not drop for a week.

Wasn't trying to contradict you or anything, was just pointing it out

This.

People don't understand statistics at all, and it's sometimes painful. If you flip a coin 100 times and it lands on heads every time, the odds that it lands on heads the next flip is *STILL* 50% (assuming a truly even procedure BUT DONT TRY ME SON).
