There is a new event crusader, Veronica, the Android Archer. Nice event crusader. Pretty useful. However, even after opening about 4 silver "Dr. Evil's Summer Sabotage" chests and about 10 jeweled chests of the same type, she STILL only has an uncommon bow. She has gotten LOADS of gear for other types and currently has an epic armguard and rare quiver, but even after approximately 15 event chests, she has yet to make it past an uncommon bow. Has anyone else run into this issue, or is it just my abysmally-bad luck acting up?

All item drops are random. Yes, it's just bad luck. Also, consider that coding different drop rates for different items is more difficult than coding just random distributions, why would the devs do that?
BTW, my Veronica has a rare bow, and it was the first item I dropped for her. And finally, consider that the difference between uncommon and rare for the bow (+DPS to all) is quite neglegible (+10% to +15%). Epic would make a difference, rare wouldn't. You already have the most important item for her (epic armguard), be happy with that :D

I wasn't suggesting that the devs intentionally gave the bow a different droprate. I wasn't suggesting anything. That's why I was asking if other people had the same issue, and if they did, I would first assume it was a bug/glitch, not an intentional coding difference. Glitches happen.

As for being "negligible", 5% is not much, but I am very OCD when it comes to stat-maxing in games. I also play Diablo 3, which is a game almost entirely focused around min/maxing once you get to the endgame and upper tiers, like plenty of MMOs. Seeing a crusader I use have an uncommon is like having an itch I can't scratch. It borderlines on being actually physically painful.

Ive had events where i got full epics on both toons and common and basic items for others its just a matter of RNG like D3 its just a matter of luck.
