The annul erased my intelligence t1 four times in a row

I was creating a titanium shield and trying to break the intelligence. But first, I had to find the T1 intelligence. Well, when I found the mod, the item had 5, so I had to roll the override. All three times I rolled it, it took away my T1 intelligence. Can someone explain why? Isn't it random?
Sorry, that's the 4th time in a row, this is a joke.

annuls are weighted against the player, 100%

That hurts to even read. Ooof.

Rng is rng, you just had a bad streak.

I don't know how valuable the rest of the shield was, but you can stack the deck slightly in your own favor with metamods. Orbs of Annulment will follow rules such as "prefix/suffix can't be changed" and "can't roll attack modifiers."

RNG is garbage and can be manipulated. I honestly think ggg manipulates everything and claims it's random. The annul orb works with weight, I'm sure. No bad streak or anything. It was the first four annuls, not a 40-in-a-row streak. What are the odds? Don't talk nonsense.

I mean just because you feel like it can be manipulated doesn't mean that's true. At the end of the day, RNG is RNG. Feelings aren't facts, welcome to POE.

"Random" in computer gaming, and most computing itself, is not truly "random". It is pseudo random. Think of an extreeeeeeemely long series of digits. Probability wise, you will likely (but not guaranteed) never repeat the same digit twice in the sequence, but there is a non-zero likelihood that the same digit (same event) will happen multiple times in a row.

Many favorable events happen sequentially for players in POE and other games, but bias makes us focus on the "bad RNG".

I recently saw an "exiled again" compilation video on youtube and one of the streamers literally had a favorable yellow juice "house of mirrors" divination card gamble like 20 times IN A ROW. Will that streamer likely never experience that again even if they played all day every day? Probably they will not.

What kind of manipulation do you think is happening here exactly? It's not like there is an algorithm that can tell which mod you want to keep and which one you don't and make a decision based on that. Worst case, higher tier mods have a higher chance of getting annulled but then again, i've landed so many perfect yolo annulls in my POE career that i have a hard time imagining that at all. At most it's like 60-40 in favor of removing the highest tier mod and even with that being the case it would still be "random". Random doesn't mean 50-50 chance. You got unlucky, that's all there is to it. I had plenty of cases where i rolled 5 dices for the 2+ armor rolls of my terminator squad in Wh40k only to get nothing but 1s on all 5. Shit happens. Even odds that are significantly in your favor can still screw you over sometimes.

Hi, yes. But what do you want me to think if this happens the first four times? Out of five modifiers, the first four times it cancels the same one? Is there a tendency for that mod to be deleted before another?
I understand you want to explain this to me, but deep down, I think this is how it is, and I'd like GGG to know this, or to honestly explain how its randomness works, and whether it has any weight or not?
