sry, i don’t buy that 
- dont’ mean to be rude, but it would just be so statistically unlikely i can’t see it happening, let alone from my experience.
Like i said, before they upped the trove drops the norm for me was dismantling during levelling (blasphemy perhaps but don’t see the point of storing low level legends anymore), and i’ve never once ever ended up with no eyes on a semi SSF char like that. just simply never happened.
Likewise since troves got upped, never not seen eyes
i scrolled through half a dozen chars and the lowest were like 9, on a non lvl 100.
dont’ get me wrong i know bad rng is a thing/can be a thing, but i’ve also levelled a, fair, amount of chars, so i should probably have seen something, so if the norm is 20+ and the low end is a dozen, that’s huge gap to 0, so i can’t fathom that bad luck…
Hence me also confirming what Bas said in terms of “swimming” in mats, both dismantle pre troves/specially with dismantle, and also now post troves bonus
*there is a reason drop rates already has increased, because they used to be low/we didnt’ use to swim in mats… but now you’ve got more mats than you even get to spend on SSF chars/mats just piling up these days
**edit. this was me clearing out a relative fresh stash of mats some months ago on the smiths Grim Dawn Meme Corner - #1133 by Gnomish_Inquisition , and it’s already back bursting:
^ not even counting all the individual inventory on the SSF chars like the prior pics
