There is no truth to the idea that having gems or using two weapons makes you find less gems.
There is no truth to the idea that you'll find less of the class-specific items that your class uses.
There is no truth to the idea that using normal attack will give you better drops.
There is no truth to the idea that having an item already will reduce the chances of it dropping again (the only restriction vaguely related to that is that each unique will only spawn at most once per game).
Really, these assertions are all in blatant contradiction with all actual knowledge about the drop algorithms. If you have a ridiculous claim like that, prove it. Don't just toss around rumours without any basis in truth. If we want false rumours, we can make plenty of our own ("If your character name starts with A, and your experience is a prime number, and at least one of your items is a rare with "Chaos" in the name, and you're between 20 and 30 years old, and you've squash all the critters in act 2 in exactly 1 hour, and you have your entire inventory full of stacks of 2 keys each, and you defeat a hell quill rat using a Windforce socketed with an El on the midnight of a full moon, you'll be 0.13% more likely to get a good drop!!!"), but such rumours are completely worthless. We want knowledge, not rumours.
