Has a non-streamer ever 6 linked an item? Or found a Shavronne's or Kaoms?

So you are saying streamers play more...what about non streamers doing mega hours a day...and nothing... oh right RNG is a bitch.

Also, here is another thing. Not everyone runs to the forums to show off their 6L item, or brag about in chat. They just play the game. They might 6L something, and never once tell anyone.

I've 6L'd 4 items since coming back to PoE in January. 1 of which was a shavronnes wrappings (somewhere between 200-300) that was dropped in Lunaris 3 , 1 was a white Ilvl 79 glorious chest piece that was fused in 10 fusings the other 2 were decent chests 1 5l the other just 6 sockets that I purchased with the goal of 6Linking them.

Only once did it take me over 300 fusings.

(I did stream my self 6Linking one tho in 69 fusings)

friend of mine found his 3rd 6link yesterday, chanced a koams and 6linked his taryns on the same day and found shavs like 2 weeks prior to that.

personally only ever 6linked one item.

Yesterday , I was trying to 5L a friend's 6S searing touch with 25 fusings and after 20 I heard the nice sound of a steam achievement (well-connected).
Too bad that was not my searing touch :/

after purchasing my supporter pack, i managed to get my 6 link in 10 fusings http://oi41.tinypic.com/169ktjn.jpg

back in closed beta before the wipe I made a 6l with 4 jewelers and 1 fusing... never had a 6l in open beta though.

i am not streamer

i did found 2x shavrones, and 1 x6l eva chest req lvl 39

Actually no... the question was evaded. You point out related truths but don't actually say that the claim that favoritism is being given is false. That's not an answer.

I like to think I have played PoE a bunch over the past few months (maybe longer!) and have been lucky enough. I 6linked some old level 40 6 socket bow i got for my lightning arrow ranger in roughly 20 fusings, and never realised how rare it was to get this. Sold it for 16 gcp (Back when an ex for 16gcp or 60 chaos) and has to this day been my only 6L. I've 5L my carcass twice in 200 fusings and stopped for the moment. Never found a Shavronne's or Koams, or anything more expensive than voidbringer gloves. Found roughly 4 exalts and 2 eternals in this entire time, so i'd say that streamers and no luckier than anyone else, but nobody else documents what they do as much as streamers can due to their popularity. This is my thoughts on why it seems they get better luck.

Also forgot to mention my EXTREME luck with my Vaal Regalia. Was talking to my friend on skype about crafting, put in a single jeweler and 100ish previous attempts and got the 6socket. Dumped a my only fusing in afterwards and got a 5L.


Nothing more than be said other than RNG is RNG.
Just my 50 cents.

I guess the answer is yes ^^


Oh, and I've found multiple drops of each in the time I have played, and I have also made many 6L. Streamers are not the only ones who do this... the question seems funny to me. It almost insinuates that as soon as someone becomes a streamer they get special super powers granted to them by the RNG gods. I just simply don't stream... for my own personal reasons.
