Happy New Year!

[Malong]

Liar! Then how did you not figure out the answer to your own question:

Read the 1st part of what you just quoted... I'm asking you a question.

Why do you think...

I do not disagree on anything you said...

Nice to see you think I'm a liar when I did what? Ask for your opinion. Nice? 

You don't disagree AFTER I spoonfed it to you with supporting evidence. BEFORE that, you honestly thought a year was not out of the ordinary (to the tune of far less than 1%, by the way).

And this isn't the first time something has been explained to you and then you try to claim you understood all along. If you really understood, you wouldn't have typed that question. You didn't notice this was out of the ordinary. Stop lying.

No, I'm asking why should I need to wait and why has nothing changed when so many people say the same things.

Because that's literally the (elementary school level) math. From the past two cycles, 7.92 months is the expected value. Unless any of the "many people" have suggested more recipes per month (which I highly doubt), don't expect this to change. You want something to happen without any concrete resolution and won't even take five minutes of thought to understand that this is expected.

2Q) What does this wait do to people and how does it benefit Ni or hinder it?
2You) This requires evaluation, maybe via survey or polling.

I'm here for an answer. You can make an educated guess if need be. I'm taking a guess needing to wait for the magical item picker to hit you item would be 1 more reason to go afk for some people. Half a year is a long time to wait for anything but to think you are waiting for no apparent reason or justification. Nice system.  

You want me to tell you how people feel without asking a good sample size of the community about how they feel. Let's file this in the "Woody's Great Ideas" folder.

I have doubts but It would not surprise me if some people go afg in waiting for some upgrades. Hell, my upgraded Pride I just did is the reason why I'm playing more than I would. 

Do you know what would help evaluate if players don't play when their upgrades aren't available, and how much of the community is comprised of this cohort? A survey or poll!

You have a lot of upgrades like myself so in what why did this benefit you or hinder you? For me, I can't see in any way this wait helped. 

I don't mind it, and that's the math. Or I would have suggested more recipes per month long ago.

3You) It hasn't been established that it's random. And even after seeing the stats on the last two sets of upgrade recipes, do you still think that?

I'll reword that to be cleaner then. Why does it need to be random that's the question just about... And my answer is it doesn't need to be. 

Give me a reason why it should be random? I can think of a few reasons why random would be a good idea hence why I said: "I see little reasons why it should be random".

3You) It hasn't been established that it's random. And even after seeing the stats on the last two sets of upgrade recipes, do you still think [it's random]?

4You) Just do the math, given that we know the number of legendaries in game and that it seems 15 per month will be available. Number of legendaries / desired number of recipes per month. If that's greater than 6 months (and it seems to be), then waiting more than half a year is fine.

I'll reword this question as it seems your mind is fixated on the system we have atm.

When you got the Leviathan's Helmet when did you want to upgrade it?
Do you see any reason why you should need to wait [x] amount of time vs you immediately upgrading it?

I fully expected to wait at least two months. When it became five months, I figured it was forgotten that there was one in game. But I waited over a year for many other items, choosing not to upgrade them when they were first available. Just do the math. You are asking for something that is mathematically impossible with 15 recipes available every month.
