You have been lucky! I haven't gotten any grand in ages
There is a difference between theory and experiment. There have been people who have had a grand gem on their first try and also a grand gem on their 74th try.
And 11 tests isnt much to accurately hypothesize a change in the theory (programed occurance rate for a grand gem).

You are lucky.
I upgrade 3 items on my main toon everyday. Haven't gotten grand since ages.
But a month ago I tried helping my friend with making his elon bow perfect. Got grand gem in 2nd try!
Meh. I've been trying to gem my necro amulet since Halloween event with nothing to show for it. I tried fire and skull gems but no supers yet. I'm ready to just quit gemming my own gear.
I haven't had much luck gemming my gear personally after Halloween event so maybe you just had a stroke of luck
It's luck and it isn't.
It's not luck because as numerously reported, drops and lock loot have appeared to be significantly higher for a lot of people around the same time/day. Simply, there are times where a large population is looting a lot more of x than y or z and that can be seen in auction for example. So most likely anything "luck" related has time as a variable so technically it's not luck.
Then again there's no chance we'll figure those algorithms out on our own unless we start seriously recording a large number of legit samples and test out different theories etc. So from that perspective, we're clueless so it's truly random for us; hence practically it is luck.
I am 2 grands in about 300 attempts. The rate is rediculous.
I got a grand first try on planar club of will ^_^
Awesome...especially on Tars. I have nowhere near that rate and am upgrading all the time. Go buy a lottery ticket. ;)
Zeus prolly has some gems to sell thats why he made this thread.
If you hadn't plat gem in a while that kind of luck does happen. I once plat gem a level 36 mythic dagger way way back for Abbreviate also took like 11-15 tries to get 3 perfect.
