I wonder if there’s any chance that they were using the same RNG on the server. Seems like you could theoretically exploit it if so, given a very low usage server, low ping, ability to get a decently precise window into the current state of the rng, and ability to quickly generate another event with a high economic variance tied to rng.

They posted a lot of the details how the server-side RNG worked in a (mostly unsuccessful) attempt at killing the rumors around "loot seeds" and such that superstitious players were utterly convinced were a thing.
