After several hundred ours of farming in only a little bit above average gear I finally got a drop that was an upgrade, amazing.

Almost a month here with mostly awful drops. One upgrade to my wizards offhand. I have gotten a few items that sold for around 50mil, others around 10. But for the most part, will go days with little to nothing.
 
Man i dont know why people have an issue i looted a lot of stuff today. MF 40 GF 38 8IAS AMulet pair of awesome trifecta gloves with resist and ton main stat couple weapons that sold for 5mil i made about 75mil today.
 
You guys are missing something.

Diablo 3 AH is a free market. It something is rare and wanted, in a open market, the players (market) will decide the price based on the "invisible hand" concept in economics.

Less rare, less demand = less resale value

More rare, more demand = more resale value

The market is the same for everyone. If you are running (1) bot for exactly (1) day will have the same expected value regardless of whatever loot you actually find or don't find.

Short Summary - It makes no difference how "rare" specific drops are, you will always be able to sell them for a value directly tied to their demand/drop rate. The rarity of certain drops don't effect your expected overall net botting income at all.

For example, say you make $50 a day botting and then blizzard randomly decided to increase the drop rate of all legionaries by 1000%. If nothing else changes you can still expect exactly $50 a day.

As a botter, IMO, you want the rarest drop rates possible because it forces casuals to use the RMAH and buy from you because they cant grind for 5 days straight.

Anyways, if the RNG is broken, its broken for everyone and makes no difference.

I'm having terribly bad luck, 3 weeks 24/7 act 1 champ farming. The most expensive item I sold was a 1200dps 2h for 6 mil, everything else under 1 mil.
 
Set items daily and several items over mil daily. Must be broken for me.

I run 24/7 though so =/
 
The default settings for Giles is really high, what you want to do is lower the settings for armour and jewelries, and also pick up crafting plans, I've found legendary plans in Act 1 before.
 
RNG broken was sarcasm, maybe I should use a tag next time </sarcasm>, I didn't mean it was real.

As for not finding or selling stuff, items with a sell value in gold of 3K+ barely selling for 20K for me, I'm not so sure if Blizz's own valuing formula is completely borked though.

It's hard to get a perfect RNG, you can look up some books on cryptography explaining it in detail.
