Tales from the General Forum

"Of course, quantum mechanics tells us that is fact every mob always has all possible loot, in a superposition of states that doesn't collapse into a coherent item until observed; so it's actually generated by the first person to loot the corpse as a consequense of their observation, and the loot propagates backwards in time to the time when the random number generator algorithm was invented.

This is why it's important to use master loot."
