I accept that that is true but it doesn't seem right to me. If someone pays for an Eagle Eye talisman that says it will increase their chances of finding items by 50% for 90 minutes people are entitled to expect that when they play that talisman it will, in fact, increase their chances by 50% during that 90 minutes period. It doesn't matter to them that someone else playing the talisman is getting a better drop rate; or that if they buy 100 talismans the statistics will show that they eventually get a better drop rate. After all, if you play a talisman that says you will get 2x the experience over 90 minutes you expect to receive exactly 2x the experience during that 90 minute period.

I won't lose sleep over it because personally I don't spend money for these things and usually just play the rooms as they come. But I'm surprised to hear that this is how the talismans are actually programmed to work.
