I have pulled infinitive amount of weapons and I spend more time than most players in D2 and I can tell you first hand that Perk Weighting is widespread.
Example: I can go to Drifter and pull 10 Bygones and most of them will have the same perks on them when I pull them back to back, a lot of which are almost identical roles and since the perk pool for Bygones is so saturated the chances of them being like this is like hitting the lottery.
I know you guys have said that you are looking for a fix for Perk Weighting but please make sure that you look into all weapons because this is happening at everything from Vendors to Tonics to Dungeons.

Yup6. I've posted about this a few times. It seems like it got worse with the weight fix put in a month or two ago. I'll ask the group again, are perks random or has bungie said they do some perk weighting? They should be random in my opinion but would like to know if bungie does do it. I've been farming the Vantage point since it came out. I have received a few eddy current/jolting feedbacks but none with the barrels, mag, master work I'm wanting. I want a stats for all/jolting feedback and haven't received one. My thumb is numb from deleting all the to the pain, focus furry, high impact rounds, desperado combos. They may be fine perks but why do 80% (best guess) drops have these perks? In all the time, not one stats for all/jolting feedback? It makes no sense. I believe it was the role in act 1 season progress but I must have deleted it by mistake as I don't have it anymore. It took 3 weeks of constant farming to get the nox smg I wanted, still waiting for the chroma rush, gridskipper, scavenger's fate. I'll dedicate 8 hr days farming for them individually and still don't have them but get a ton of to the pain drops. I gave up on bygones. I got a few roles with decent perks but not with the barrel, mags I want but I'll keep them just to avoid having to keep playing gambit.
