Am I flagged as Bot or what?

I'm beginning to think I'm flagged as a bot or something, after the maps I've been running in the last few days I was thinking "Oh just got unlucky, rng is rng" but I can't seem to drop maps of at least the same level or 2 below (Just a number out of my head but I can say a satisfying drop happens in 1 out of 6 runs). I tried about everything, used the data in that Map Management Resource thread and examined the 1000 DATA POINTS statistics, spent a lot of currency on my maps, chiseled them to 20%, alched them all the way, chaosed for good mods etc. JUST NO LUCK!

My guildmates, also my real-life friends keep dropping 2 same level and 2 higher level maps from a white map... I TRIED RUNNING WHITES TOO. That didn't really worked out, I give them the map to open; maps everywhere! I open and it's a dry run. A frustrating cycle, which I want to break out of. But I hit a wall of RNG everytime and this last map was the last drop!


This is the summary of almost all my runs in the 70-73 pool.

And I'm starting to feel I'm more likely flagged rather than being unlucky! Because I play systematically and for many hours per session. I guess I passed the Reverse Turing test.

Yes, I am whining BUT this is not a casual whining, I'm sure I spent almost the same time playing(and efficiently, no sidetracking, no alt chars) as those in the top 100 Rampage Ladder.(5 days 17 hours 30 mins)

Being flagged as a bot results in not having any currency drops. If you think your account is cursed otherwise, email Support :-D But yeah, it's probably just really, really bad luck.

Yeah, I read that before posting this but I can't seem to reason what's happening...

No worries mate a Shavs will be dropping for you soon.

If you get orbs and such, you're unlikely to be flagged. Could just be a dry spell, and reminds me of a week in Ambush when I barely got any maps, and the ones I did get were four or five levels lower. Drove me crazy too.

I wish!! I would sell the Shavs and then I would buy 50+ 78 maps then run them with 200 quantity 6 man + culler group to see 66 maps flying around. OH THE JOY!

I'm getting currency, there is no problem with that. I read that you don't get currency if you are flagged but this is just nuts!
I'm not talking about one map that I invested in and got nothing out of, this is what I experience on a regular basis.

RNG.

Play the game long enough and you will end up on the other end of it.

This happened to me last season. When friends would open maps, they'd get plenty of maps, just like you noticed as well. In the end, I had to roll a new character before my map drop rate returned to normal.

It's also happening to me again this season. I've been rolling all my maps at minimum 30%+ and often with magic or horde. Lately I've begun chiseling, alching, chaosing, and vaal orbing my maps, since I'm so desperate for map drops. Still no luck. Here's my last remaining 70+ maps:

Define "long enough".

Maybe we should map together? If we merge our luck together, we might reverse the system and get +7 maps instead of -7.

Email support anyway. They're cool people and would probably confirm your account status.
