Diminishing returns on instance farming?

Is there a diminishing returns mechanism on instance farming? Over the last day, I've been seeing a consistent reduction in drop rate on items on the instance I've been repeatedly farming.

When I started grinding SM Cathedral yesterday, I would consistently get a few green items and a dozen or so grays. However, after repeating twenty times or so, now I rarely see a green, and only loot a couple of grays. The only thing that seems steady is the drop rate of coins and cloth.

Just luck, or is something else at work here?

Q u o t e:
There's no system that reduces what you get the more you run an instance. The only "diminishing return" there is, is when you enter an instance 5 times within a certain time period, you many not enter instances again for an hour.

This is correct.
