Unbalanced items in shop (Boost enchant rate for 10%)

i'm no pro on the matter but i do believe most random number generators in mmos use normalization (this may not be the correct name) where if you get a streak (either positive or negative), after a while the system gives you the opposite result so as to conform the results with the probability.
example using your blue/red balls: i pick 10 balls from the bag and they are all blue, at that point the rng normalizer kicks in and if i pick more balls, they will mostly be red until the ratio of blue to red reaches roughly 50%.

this normalization may only be used in combat though (to avoid players going 3 days without dishing out a single crit, for example) and maybe doesn't apply here.

 

normalization definitely doesn't apply here, or high oe'd weapons would be non-existant.

 

each time, it's iid (independently and identically distributed, due to constant randomization based on system clock) so of course there is no "normalization" (i don't really understand that word but w/e).
however, i do believe that your chance to oe decreases as your weapon is highly oed, a bit like with skills but you can't see it. of course it's all speculation and tests should be done to verify it. i even believe something like enchant_rate = 66.6% * (1-exp(enchant_level/100)).
which gives something like...


66.6% to go +3 > +4
45% to go +15 > +16

again, speculation.
