Ritual / Audience drop rates - feedback

lvl 96 + level 94 in hcssf and i've found 0 audiences target farming pretty much only ritual with tablets the entire time on those 2 characters specifically (I had 2 other chars). 100 hours+ on characters that completes a ritual map in around 10 minutes

This is honestly reminding me of the delve resonator fiasco from poe 1 where it was basically admitted that characters generated a loot seed on creation and they can (rarely) bug out and prevent people from dropping certain items EVER.

I'm going to continue running ritual till (if) I find one but i find this very very disheartening. I really hope its a not a repeat of the same bug.

This is probably conjecture but I've also seen no olroths in around 20 level 79-80 logbooks. I haven't bothered using any towers for expedition so I haven't run that many logbooks since I've been purely going for ritual so this is mostly just anecdotal.

I've basically played the game 8+ hours almost every day since launch (my 96 char has over 8 days /played) and havent been able to even interact with 2 of the endgame bosses in ssf, which feels like complete ass. I don't really care much about the drops I just want to try out the content without being forced to go trade league. You could say things are different on SSF but with the amount of hours I've played its just unreasonable.

To put this into further perspective i can farm a full breachstone in like 1 hour using tablets and removing all 8 of my points.

i found 2 of them in 2 days, but after i defeated the king of the mist 4 times after purchasing the invitations from alva, which is kinda silly; i had to buy the invitations 4 times from players in order to be able to buy the invitation from rituals in maps XD

alright after 110 hours of ritual, i finally got my first audience.

I can confirm just unlucky. Thankfully it doesnt seem to be the bug i was worried about.

The legends of "just bitch more" are true. Why did i wait so long to complain...
