I've been 12/15 on skadi for ages now missing 35 head/body/hands and 15 body(will only get/kill when i get 35).

    What a big surprise Bhaflau and SSR cockblocking like no tomorrow (any other almost finished set in our group is being cockblocked by SSR 35s).
    Ah, sorry if I worded it wrong but I was saying that relative to my experience, not the overall average experience that everyone gets to go through. I'll say one thing though, killing all 10 gears should be not considered part of he problem at all. There is no reason to not kill them all, you need to work on patients and pulling technique if you keep linking them.

    My experience with 35skadi body was pretty good. Our first time aiming to try and kill Peryton: We killed all 10 gears like normal, sat at the rampart and killed his birds until peryton finally popped. Kill, drop. Awesome. We did a pure farming run so there wasn't enough time left for the boss so we stayed there hoping he'd pop again. He did, and he dropped again. Haven't tried to pop or kill peryton since.

    people who get lucky in salvage and then assume their experience was normal make kittens die

    seriously. there's nothing that's significantly more than a 10% overall rate anywhere in salvage. even the rampart nm's probably aren't more than 30% and their spawn rate is *maybe* 40%.

    Wonder if there is a fatigue mechanism for drop rates...

    we always joke that it checks linkshells when you enter and if they're all the same halves the drop rate...

    So many things to be superstitious about, so little time.

    I spelled astronomical wrong...
    And, .00016 isn't astronomical. I was a little heated as you can tell.

    This GM is a nice guy...I wouldn't have replied nicely to such retarded call.

    First, the odds aren't 5/6^48...that's what you're assuming them to be, and second, it's not the GM fault if the game is programmed this way. Salvage drop rate is indeed retarded, but you should show a little bit more respect to someone who has nothing to do with this.
