Percent chances, description vs reality

Ok, I know this game is largely based on RNG with a % chance for something to happen. However, the percents listed really don't seem to be accurate in practice.

For example, Uncollected Kingpin (3.2 of the monthly EQ) is listed at having a 50% chance to convert any debuff to a Rage buff. Each debuff and stack of debuffs are treated separately (like 5 Spirit Venoms from Voodoo, each one of the 5 have a chance). But when I fight against him with my 6* Yondu, Kingpin is converting closer to 75% of the time.

It would really be helpful if we can get an honest and genuine answer from the game developers as to why the listed and actual percentages just are not linking up.

    Just because a coin has a 50% chance to give a heads or tails, doesnt mean it won't give me 5 heads in a row.
    RNG isn't a law, it's a generalisation, a human construct made to try and help people understand something. Once I laid 8 debuffs on kingpin and he didn't convert any of them. Numbers are a lie, and real life never follows numbers that we make up.

    I have about 50% to trigger agreement on your comment but I'm still waiting to see Scarlet Witch triggering 8 buffs/debuffs at the same time (like discribed in her sig) to increase these chances ;-)

    HAHAHAHA
    That's technically a 27% chance to trigger 8 (de)buffs at the same time at max sig, but hey
    Numbers are a lie my friend
    We made them up, and now we believe what they tell us.
    (and that's how the robots are going to rule one day)

    All I know is that there is something wrong with the dice at the craps table if I keep rolling snake eyes...

    Oh wait true yes I made a mistake.
