I have experienced the same frustrations. It may just be a randon algorithm, but I bet it has been programmed to with hold the things you need, the collection items and access passes, so that you use up energy on fruitless searches and then have to purchse energy to continue. Random maybe but probably purposefully random in a manner that rewards the players just enough to keep them trying. There is research to explain why just the right amount of reward keeps us hoping we may find sucess. So while I enjoyed this game in the beginning and thought that with practice and skill development I could be sucessful while spending a small amount of money for rubies. I have discovered that one really must buy your way to success. Wish I could give my collected items and needed fixers and access passes to anyone who needs them. However most of you probably have many collections that need only one item to be complete and you would need to purchase the fixers needed to complete those I have all the needed items for. If I kept playing the needed fixers might someday be available to find, but I bet I would need to spend a fortune to play long enough to find them. Good luck to those who persist in playing this game.
