Would this be considered a true RNG? Just wondering.

If this is true in Nexon's code, that would give a perfectly valid reason for the strange occurrences where the same thing happens multiple times, because it's running off the same time-stamp. It's not that you screwed up enough scrolls that it now decides to be nice to you, but you just got lucky.
I think that if you reproduce a specific time, the RNG will spit out the same number and therefore you would get the same result. However, I highly doubt that close times will result in the same/similar numbers.
