Really? Remember the clock freeze in CD? That's one way to game the PRNG.
If one were to get the code for the PRNG, then given *one* number the whole series would be known. The other part, then, is getting that number. Of course, Blizzard servers are hack proof. And there's a bridge to Brooklyn that's for sale.

Yeah, the day someone hacks Blizzard's servers to get the code for the PRNG and figures out the whole series, and then manages to time their raiding down to precisely the number required, or freezes Blizzard's server clocks, or whatever the heck else, I'll believe it. I'm sure it's not impossible.
When people are yakkin' about Warglaive drops (or "lucky streaks" in Civ or whatever else) because they don't understand basic statistics? I think not.
