"1/50 chance to get an Ascension Signet from each Legio"

I have one question. Does it apply to all players?
Im asking because i just spent 60mil on keystones to ascensions and have 0 signets in return (i dont think in 29m im gonna get 6 parts and dragon cbow) so, how is this drop rate thing work?

Also:
How can i have in 303 (since they are counted) araxxis get 3 pieces of leg (1 full leg) when they should be 1/40 (for me 1/101) (to be honest i have 2 awesome araxxi eyes drops too)

How can i do 2,1k sara kills (it was 8 years ago) and not get hilt which is 1/512

How can i kill 35k dragons (irons + steels + wyverns + black + kbd + qbd) and not get any vissage (with droprate of 1/10k) in past 11 years (tbh i got mine first 3 days ago after 11 years)

and countless others drops. My only way to get money is 100% drops like dragon bones or w/e. And after 6 years of moneymaking for an ely shield (which cost 340m) when i finally bought it, week later with eoc update i lost 6 years of my moneymaking work in 1 week cause it crashed to 30m. Now im wasting any extra cash to make my own ascension c bow, which will cost probably 500m if not more.

So please jagex, explain, do these drop rates works for everyone? Or for everyone except me? Thank you

Pivo94, you and many other people just don't "get" the 1/x chance thing.

Every "no get" doesn't bring you closer to "get."

The only thing that brings you closer to "get" is triggering the potential drop. That gives you a chance. Gotta be in it to win it. We aren't talking about threshholds here. That's a different (albeit related) topic.

If you flip "heads" 49 times in a row with a coin, the 50th flip is still a 50/50 chance.

You can kill 100k Black Dragons and never see a visage. You can get one on your first kill.

because you dont understand drop chance....

each time you kill something you spin a wheel. (or roll a dice etc) so jst because its 1:40 doesnt mean with in 40 kills its 100% youll get.

you can roll a dice 12 times and never get the number 6, even though its 1:6 chance...
