Then, why do the players who know the most this game farm Fellshrine, Docks or Sarn non stop for 15 levels to gear themselves?

I'm gonna stop here, keep convincing yourselves...

Haha, we need larger sample size... we need to grind.

My experience is that it's purely rng since I've been grinding fellshrines etc with my dozens of characters to gear myself and that has always been productive.

My other experience is that it was the same in Diablo 2, "new" players have always tried to find trends where there were not, while players who were playing this game for years knew there were absolutely no trend like the one suggested above.

It's like in life when you discover the meaning of a new word, then you have the feeling to hear this word everywhere, while actually it's just that you never paid attention to it before and now you're focusing on it.

But yes, I trust a lot more the players who play this game for one year 12 hours a day than you in this thread. Or than my little experience compared to them.

Good, now we know you're just another troll, I can ignore you, thanks.

Have fun! And take care to never grind the same place twice if you want shiny uniques!

Because of their layout and level ranges.....There are many possible reasons why, but convenient layout combined with level range and ease of mobs (aside from Voidbearers and Perpetus) are the ones I see people say most when they suggest those areas. Fellshrine for example is loaded with easy as hell mobs (aside from desync prone Golems and their fubar roll), and is also smack dab in the middle of two waypoints, making it easy to run through it from one waypoint, right to another.

And people would keep grinding them knowing that the more they grind them, the less they get, while they'd just have to change place once in a while to reboot the counter?

Wait, let me get this straight, you're actually arguing as if people are genuinely asserting that there is some sort of DR mechanic in place? It was just a suspicious musing, I don't think anyone believes it is actually in place; it just wouldn't be shocking if there were. And to answer your question just for the hell of it, yes they would, why? Because you'd have to run a huge amount of trials and painstakingly collect data on drops to have a large enough sample size to determine whether or not there was some sort of DR in place, no one is going to do that. It's far easier to just say "rng is rng", and if I were GGG, and I wanted to put a DR mechanic in place, I'd make it subtle, betting on the fact that players wouldn't pick up on it enough to raise their pitchforks, knowing that anything and everything can be dismissed with the canned "rng is rng" response.

Well yes, that's the only thing I'm talking about.

My suspicion still stands and hasn't been disproven yet.

The more you run a specific area, the less you find. Period.

It's like the game knows.

I notice it when farming bosses, I notice it in docks, I notice it in lunaris.

first few runs seem okay, then it takes a nosedive as long as I continue to farm that specific area over and over again without breaking it up whatsoever.

For example.

1. Merveil
2. Dock run
3. Merveil
4. Dock run
5. Merveil

Always seems a little more forgiving than

1. Merveil
2. Merveil
3. Merveil
4. Merveil
5. Merveil

or

1. Dock run
2. Dock run
3. Dock run
4. Dock run
5. Dock run

Diablo 2 was the exact same way imo although mfing in that game was insanely easy because of an actual good and useful teleport function.

Ahh, I didn't see that; I read the OP and then a few other things before responding, and I thought that maybe you picked up on what I said about how it wouldn't be shocking if there were a DR in place, I just thought people were shooting the breeze with cynical hypotheticals, didn't realize someone firmly believed that.
