Anything with a drop rate of <100% has the potential to never drop. Random
is
random, after all.

That is true, but I've noticed it as well. We've gone from an average of 4 trash epics a week, for 4 weeks clearing everything, to 0 in the past 2 weeks, clearing everything. That's a pretty extreme difference, 4 to 0. I'm one to read patch notes and datamined stuff on MMO-champ as it comes out, and I don't recall seeing anything about BoT trash drop rates being mentioned. Random is random, but there comes a point where you say "Something's fishy here."
Edit: To elaborate. We could just be in an extreme situation here with the drop rates. But if we could get a bigger picture, have others see if they've had a significant drop rate reduction, it's possible it was stealth hotfixed.

RNG.
Done BoT trashfarm 15 times when people got epics all the time and only one epic has ever dropped for me.

RNG is RNG. You can have an epic from every mob or none from farming over 7 months.

and yet RNG still has a droprate...there's nothing wrong with them canvassing to see if the droprate has changed...

So what. Everyone in here is saying that you can not reliably notice a change in drop rate from such a minimal sample size, and they are correct.

Which is why he came here to get a bigger sample size...duh...

I can give him one that is still warm if he'd like.

Don't think it's been nerfed, my group just got 3 epics on the first pack. and zero on everything afterwards
Yay a clear concise answer! Now we know it was just bad luck :D
