Are random quest reward upgrades still in?

[Hermi]

Over the past two months I was consistently getting ~10% of my quest reward blues to upgrade to epic, but in the past week I'm zero for at least fifty quest turnins from Outlands dungeon quests. If the drop rate is 1/12th, then I'm in the bottom 1% of luck for this week - worse if it's 1/10. I'm starting to worry that either quest upgrades have been nerfed/removed or my account has been "shadowbanned" for upgrades due to over-farming or remaking characters or something.

Has anyone seen this before? Anyone get epic quest rewards in the past week?

I got two.

I got two.

That's good to know! I think there might be an inactivity timer though, as once I started doing 2-3 runs per day up from 1 my upgrade rate seemed to fall off a cliff.

Recently pulled epic gloves from Old Hills (that place is like 0% upgrade chance I swear)
Few nights ago pulled double epic upgrades from the same MoP dungeon, while leveling

Well, I guess posting here was just the impetus the game needed to finally proc that epic for me. That's 29 runs for one specific upgrade roll. But now I'm wondering if I should wait a day or two to try for the second epic. Are the quest upgrades a flat percentage, or is there really a bonus for less active accounts?

As much as it feels like waiting matters, or most likely does not.

What are the epics you are trying for?

If an upgrade is 10% and you are trying to get two blue to epics it’s going to be 1/100. Which is the same as a green to epic.

I’m trying for the Auchenai Tracker’s Hauberk and Auchenai Boots. I’ve gotten the chest 7 times, but no boots yet.

Sure, they are independent rolls, but I’ve seen people on this forum propose that the bonus roll chance can vary between 1/8 and 1/12 for example. If that’s the case then taking a few days off might improve the drop rate by 50%, which could be worthwhile if it takes a week to get the first drop. That being said, “pity timers” or “inactivity bonus” might not exist at all. We’d need a lot of data to determine that.

Edit: just got the epic chest and bracers, but no boots. And there's the reroll.
