I have killed Lord Ahune at least 10 times and never seen it and there are reports on wowhead of people killing him 40 times and never seeing the cloak.

Is this intentional?

This might sound confusing. The fact that you've killed Ahune ten times and have not seen the Icebound Cloak is not intentional. The drop rate, however, is intentional.

If you flip a coin ten times and it lands on heads every time, that's not reflective of the statistical chance of it landing on tails five out of ten times, but it doesn't mean the coin is broken.

You know im not going to say the drop is broken but i hate it when people use this argument.

There are millions of people in this country yet polls consisting of 100k people are viewed as scientific. I dont know if you know this but 100k is quite small sample size.

In short you dont need millions of coin flips to prove if said coin is broken.

Also all you idiots saying "well i did it once and saw it so all must be fine." RNG works both ways. A drop rate could be broken but you still see it drop.

In that case, I guess you can consider the fact that the drop rate isn't broken because it's lower than you want it to be, or your luck is bad.
