Why Minecraft! Why

So i'm not the kind of guy who level's up much as it is incredibly boring for me. Anyway, so i saw Shamp's pick which is something like fortune 3, efficiency 4 and unbreaking 3 (roughly) and i suddenly wanted one. So i spent my entire evening levelling up and it sucked. I finally reached level 50 and started the enchantment. It took me about 15 mins until i hit a level 47. I thought might as well take it as it's probably going to be a long time until i see a higher figure. So what do i get for a level 47 enchantment .... Unbreaking 3. That is it. That is my story for the day. I hate Minecraft.
Post your fails in enchanting below!

That's better than anything I'VE ever had (or probably ever will).
But that DOES kinda suck. I used 15 levels on a diamond sword and only got Bane of Arthropods II. Piece a' crap...

Used up 49 levels for only Smite V on a diamond sword (which took 20 minutes to find lvl 49). And then used up 48 levels for Unbreaking III (took 16 minutes to find lvl 48). There is no way describing the rage after losing 4.5 hours for nothing.

Yep, it sucks.

This is why they are making enchantments less random in the upcoming update. This is also why I buy my enchantments instead of bother spending the time to get crappy ones...
I know if you get a good one, it's awesome, but I'd rather mine for credits which I enjoy then exp farm and get bad luck, like you guys. :x

Had a Fortune 3, Efficiency 4, Unbreaking 3. Lost it to that 50 hour rollback awhile back. I had to re-enchant Fortune 3, Efficiency 3...

This is an awesome graph plot of the probabilities of enchants:

That graph is incredibly ironic.
I wanted a Fortune 3, I didn't care about any other potential enchantments, I wanted a Fortune 3. I did two level 50 exp sprees. Guess what happened.
TWO SILK TOUCHES. First one had Silk Touch and Efficiency IV, second had Silk Touch and Efficiency III.
Ah well, at least i got a bit of cred selling both of them.
