I said they are wrong to make that kind of assertion without providing a reasonable body of evidence, not that they are wrong that the mobs do not in fact work this way. It has not been proven or disproven and I do not see a reason to waste my time doing so since I am not making a fantastic assertion. Countless individuals are willing to bet on all sorts of things (like "loot seeding") affecting their game experience but the only thread I've ever seen where any aspect of WoW's loot system was analyzed methodically in order to find any sort of pattern was a recent-ish one that showed that drop tables appear to be segmented rather than one uniform table on the mob where N items are picked randomly among M.

Link. A. Survey.

You know what -- forget it. Have fun with your hearsay and anecdotal pseudo-science and arguments about how the loot tables are "seeded" and how to influence them. I'm sure you'll be guaranteeing your Warglaives drops in no time through ingenuity
