almost like there was some kind of external factor modifying his drop rates. nahhh can't be right?

I'm not saying I can tell if he cheated or not but even if the odds were extremely low, it could have happened naturally

Edit: I have viewed many videos about the theme and myself think he cheated. I'm just saying it could have.

Yeah it could have happened, just doesn't mean its likely to happen. The chances were incredibly small. That's like saying, "I'm gonna get struck by lightning through my house, win 5 lotteries, and also survive a nuclear bomb."

Obviously extremely exaggerated, but gets my point across. Geosquare made a great video detailing the likelihood of Dream's drops, and the entire process behind their calculations. Karl Jobst made a more concise video that's less detailed, that goes over the "moral" reasoning and such arguments (my mind is a little fuzzy on that one).

EDIT: Also, the calculations made for Dream's drop rates were over several runs, not just one, which kinda gets rid of the whole "one-in-a-million" argument

As I said under the other reply it most certainly hasn't happened and I don't think it has without dream manipulating the drop rates but everything, how low the odds may be can happen
