Default Randomness of Loot Drops

This question seems obvious, but I did search the forums and wasn't able to find anything specific to this.

Why is it that when you loot mobs after the fights, if they have words, there are very often 2 or 3 of the same words, pages, etc. Once or twice may be randomness at work, but it happens all the time, more often than not, actually. What I think should be happening is that there should be other things dropping, other words, research items, instead of multiples of the same words.

Why is this happening? More to the point how is this fixed?


I saw this same issue when I ran my server on Windows. I now run the server on Linux and is still occurs...

That all gets edited in the database (to your preferences). There is several editors out there. (George's Tools for one).
You can edit the loot tables and drops, drop rates, etc.

Unless it has been fixed recently, there are some serious faults in the loot code.

I have a fixed version running on our server, but installing it would most likely break what is already out there.
