XCOM lies about the percentages as well because dumb people complained they didn't seem accurate when they just didn't understand how percentages work.
If you flip a coin 100 times, there is about a 31% chance that you get a run of 7 tails. If you flip a coin 30 times, there is a about a 10% chance you get a run of 7 tails.
If you make a 50% enchant 30 times in the game, it's unlucky to get a run of 7 fails in a row at some point, but very much within the realm of possibility.
I've never played this game so I'm not sure how many times you make enchants, but if it's a common occurrence, you should expect to have strings of losses.
There's a calculator at the bottom of this page for it: http://www.gregegan.net/QUARANTINE/Runs/Runs.html
Korean MMOs with chance-based progression are some of the most predatory bullshit I've ever seen. I'm so glad I grew out of that stuff years ago.
This isn't specifically BDO, but someone made a post on R*ddit a few months back for this other extremely predatory game, where his buddy fails over 100 50% chance rolls in a row. Clearly, that's a bug (if we're being generous), but it was never communicated to the playerbase. The same company got into a huge lawsuit a few months ago too where they admitted that there was another separate chance-based system that misled the entire playerbase. I wouldn't be surprised if BDO rates were somehow "accidentally" lower than expected.
Oh fuck this game, I played it on release. Hardcore seige guild until the desync issues were so bad I would miss easy grabs with berserker and then randomly grab when noone is near. The way they made it pay to win was the nail in the coffin. Had more fun in BDO than archeage tho.
