Loot Generation

even if you could get the same timestamp twice, you wouldn't get anything out of it.

Not necessarily true. All RNGs that I've ever come into contact with give the exact same sequence of "random" numbers every time if given the same seed. If this weren't the case, you wouldn't require a seed.

Now, if they make it impossible to get the -exact- same seed (like using seconds since the epoch, or timestamp + other factors) then you get what looks to be random behavior. But if you could replicate the exact same seed, you should get the same results.
