Actually the non-independent randoming method someone mentioned earlier in this thread is called pseudo-randoming.
Truly random numbers come from sources like radiation and environment white noise, etc etc
A lot of computer software, including games, often use pseudo algorithms to generate random numbers, and it works just by increasing probability after failures.
Obviously the problem is no one really knows how Nexon implements the code for scrolling, so all this talk about "independent events" is useless. However, its fairly unlikely it would be affected by dummy scrolling.
