You just have bad luck keep trying and the stuff you want will drop eventually.

Yeah. Each of the drops possible have a 1/4th chance, due to one of the four possible items always being dropped. As a direct result, the probability of getting the same item 10 times in a row is 1 in 1,048,576 (which is exactly 1/4^10.) What you experienced is highly unlikely, but still/ possible. Just keep at it.

Jesus, well ok thanks i will keep trying :D

Do keep in mind that each drop is idnependent of the others. Which means that no matter what happened on those first ten kills, you still have exactly a 25% chance of getting another crystal vile shard. The overall event is unlikely, but the single outcome doesn't care about that. Statistics and probability is a funny thing.

This is exactly my luck -.-

But at the same time, this also means each kill gives you a 75% chance of not getting the same drop again.

Here's an interesting one to ponder the odds of, from a poker tournament I dealt.
As dealers we were doing 1 hour rotations on the tables. For one full hour shift, every flop was a paired board on the table I dealt. One of the craziest hours of poker I ever dealt, ended up busting out almost half the table, to the glee of the hand winners.
