Loot-Filled Pumpkin bug.

[Stuuut]

Today i looted my Pumpkin bad and guess what was in it... The Lich King was hiding inside it riding Ashes of Atal
The minute i opened it i heared a voice saying "OOOOOoooohhh Noes they have found me, Please don't kill me!!!" Then LK ran away leaving his Ashes of Atal

This exploit is so epic +Rep for you man

[Hsk]

This is quickly turning into a troll thread. Cut it out guys, we already know this is NOT an exploit and is a coincidence.
Although it is quite funny

[Joxi]

for this to be accurate you have to try MANY times each and see the drop rating from it, as it seems from my point of view it's the same and OP just had some rng

[Sklug]

OK, I am reporting back to you guys with some more thoughtful and hopefully accurate data on the matter. When I first read this I just figured they upped the drop rate after patch (which they did), and that this was all RNG. BUT, considering some people were getting lucky, enough to get me intrigued, the scientific part of my brain decided I should test this thoroughly... here are my results and analysis.

EXPERIMENT 1

I took two of my toons, and ran them 3 days in a row through the HH boss...

First toon

This was the experimental toon, to which I did the exact method as stated by the OP. I got my bags full using cloth and then received my loot-filled pumpkin in the mail.

Results: First day, no luck, but I got the epic sword, pet, and mask and broom. 2nd and 3rd day I got the HH mount and also a bunch of misc HH loot (helm/sword/etc..)

Second toon
This was, in a way, my control toon. I ran him NORMAL, not filling my bags and looting the helm right away. I did this 3 days in a row in conjunction with my main.

Results: 1st and 2nd day I got masks and points, nothing else. The 3rd day I got the pet, mask, and broom.

-- At this point it seemed like there was a strong possibility that there was something going on with the loot-filled pumpkins being mailed to you. Though, there was still RNG involved so another experiment needed to be done.

EXPERIMENT 2

This experiement I grabbed 10 guildies to do this with me, 2 separate parties. We all did the method of filling our bags til they were full and then did the HH today.

Results: At the end of our runs we wound up in the cities next to a mailbox, grabbed our pumpkin and looted. 6/10 of us got our HH mounts as well as other various loots (I did not get it this 4th attempt). This was very shocking (and sad to the ones who didn't lol) to us.. people were freaking out in the guild because of HH achivement spam lol


Analysis and Conclusion

Ok, let me first say that in our guild of about 150 members, people are getting this mount left and right without the OP's method, so the loot rate HAS increased. But, everyone is doing this everyday and of the 150 we have had about 20 guildies get it so far, roughly a 1/7.5 chance -- Yet with our experiment we managed to get a roughly 60% HH chance rate... This can be determined by first looking at Experiment 1 and seeing as how 2/3 of the time I got the HH (2/4 if including Experiment 2). Also, in Experiment 2 60% of the guild members received their HH mount...


Therefore, while there is still a chance that this all leads to pure RNG, I am going to venture to say that after these trials there is a strong possibility that the OP might be on to something.

So, I say to you, it may be RNG, it may not... what harm is there in at least trying this method out? I say give it a shot!

I will report on the happenings of my guildies over the next couple of days as well. Until then, I say +rep from me to the OP as I got my HH mount out of this and it is leaning towards being true. THanks a bunch! I hope the rest of you found this useful.[/B][/I]

After patch 4.0 did I get 2 raven lords in 10 mins. It just about luck. Have got 4 headless horseman on my chars and going with 6 chars.

Everything is just about luck.

[joeybeasley1]

just worked for me 1st try

[Hsk]

Christ sake, i would love a elite user or something to post here and /slap everyone in the face.
ITS ALL CHANCE.
THIS IS NOT AN EXPLOIT.

[Mikezorz27]

Hsk, Calm down. I just did this and got Hallowed Helm, Flying Broom, Sinister Squashling and a mask, where as the last times I've done this I've gotten one item, normally a mask but once the Sinister Squashling. Whereas this may not be your typical exploit, it sure as **** works a decent amount of the time, judging by all the posts in this thread.

[Phaek]

Even if it is just pure luck, this seems to up your luck a notch. I'd say do it if you feel like it would help.

You need a LOT more data to determine if this actually works than that! I doubt this works and as someone said earlier there are bound to be more people reporting that it works than people reporting it doesn't. It did not work for me and I did not post here about it. I am however still doing this because what's the harm? Takes 10 seconds to fill your bags.

[Karano]

At first glance this seems to be absolutely "just chance". Well, who knows, perhaps Blizz made a mistake somewhere and the item sent via mail is different. I will be testing this every day on my two level 80 toons (A and B) to see if it was just all "luck". Before trying this, I have obtained absolutely nothing from the loot bags except for masks and JP.

Day 1
A: Female Gnome Mask + Sinister Squashling.
B: Horseman Sword + Male Draenei Mask.
C1: Mask.
C2: Mask + Flying Broom.
C3: nothing.

ADD: I will also ask three guildies (C1, C2, C3) who are also doing HH everyday what they are getting in their bags. They are not aware of the "method" (I wouldn't call it exploit yet).

[Damnedi]

works, got hallowed helm and the pet from bag.

[Andros]

Not disconfirmed nor confirmed.
Flimsy Mask+Hallowed Mask.
Hallowed mask ain't special tho, since i've already recieved 2.

You think everyone it worked for will post about it either? I'm glad he posted his results.
