What happened to Mordu's Folly?

Hello.

I haven't been offered Mordu's Folly (an L4 Minmatar mission) in weeks after having done many missions and declined many more from several agents just to see whether I could get it.

Has anyone been offered that mission recently? Has that mission been removed from the pool or something changed that causes it (and maybe other missions as well) to not be offered anymore?

Mission Agents' mission pools often get reset every once and awhile. I actually wish CCP would do this much more often, as I still seemingly run into the same one or two good missions and a handful of the forgettable ones.

In fact I wish CCP would get rid of the mission pools and allow all agents an equal chance to offer any mission, obviously according to level, division, and opposing faction. Despite having worked in all four major faction Empires over the last nearly eight years, I've only seen one version of Blockade, never seen the one against the Sansha, Serpentis, or Angels. Same thing for many missions. There are missions I've never even seen in any form though they are offered by the agents I've been talking to, but I cannot even fathom how many times I've had to save that damned Damsel or know why Eve will only let me see two anti-Gallente missions: An Advantageous Catastrophe and Enemies Abound. I actually, literally cannot even think of one anti-Minmatar mission I've ever had offered besides technically Enemies Abound 5 of 5; are those not a thing? Looking at the missions listed on Eve's Survival wiki, I've probably seen about a quarter of the L4s available.

Sorry for the rant, it just pisses me off to no end. No one's fault, but still.

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

I wish they'd start adding 2-4 new missions per Empire per month...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

There is no end to how often I get this mission from certain agents, maybe try a different agent as some wont have it at all.

Thanks for chiming in.

For the record, only yesterday did I finally get that mission, after several weeks during which I've done or declined multiple times every other mission provided by L4 Minmatar security agents.

In particular, during this time I've been offered a ridiculously high number of times the In the Midst of Deadspace mission series, sometimes twice in a row or two out of three consecutive times, only to have it offered yet again by another agent I wold try just for giggles.

So maybe this is working as intended, and I understand random doesn't mean evenly distributed, it's normal to have some missions (randomly) offered more often than others, but this disparity between a mission being offered more than a dozen times and another not at all during an extended period of time just doesn't feel right to me...
