Yeaaaaaaah....no, im calling bs on that and i doubt you counted them anyway.

This is what i hate about people that makes topics like these, sure rng is a pain sometimes but atleast make legit numbers instead of trying to make it look worse then it is.

yeah, i counted ^.^ and everyday i open farms in excalibur PF, doing SR. Just today i completed 36 Battle in the big keep( 2 got the card) and 18 Dragon's( no one got)

Terra > 2 tanks, 1 healer and 5 dps( like 4 mins ) sometimes i do with 1 tank method to save time
Bartz > 1 healer, 1 tank and 6 dps (summoner revive in chains) 4:45 mins each run or less with good dps
Moogle hard > less than 3 min runs with 1 tank, 6 WHM and 1 bard
Gaius > i try everday in my work with TeamViewer, the same goes to Tataru

For the Gaius card at least, it drops at a very good rate in Praetorium. Run that a max of five times and you have it - then you can at least leave the Indolent Imperial.

I just tried praetorium 3 times lol i like farm in Indolent because is 100% win rate with Scions cards(if you know what are you doing) and i can farm some MGP for Cloud card later. but i will try at least 5 praetorium today ^^ ty friend o/

These numbers are believable, I remember having buying a full bunny suit with the MGP from Imperial before seeing a Gaius card.
I also recorded around 560 wins via roulette achievement vs Tataru before seeing Lightning.
Calling it working as intended, usual sub 1% chance drops to go against something that's easily spammed (yeah ok tataru has another layer of rng with her rules) to pad out this 3month lull.

I've seen him on PF on my server farming for Terra so it might be possible. I dunno how many times he's run it though but it might be possible as I've seen his PF up everyday for dragon's neck. FYI, I did about 15 runs of praetorium and it never dropped TC. What I did do though was queue up for it and play imperial in between. Funny thing is it dropped on my 3rd win after I got to 60 cards. I had well over 1000+ wins on him because I made over 200,000 MGP off of him till it finally dropped. It takes a REALLY long time though. It's a 0.5% drop rate for Gaius so it'll take a while before you see him.

I have already given up on TT...

I'm so done with tt for now. 100+ dragons neck runs with feeble light awarded and no Terra card. 500+ indolent imperial wins and no Gaius card (also ran praetorium 20+ times with no drop), but I did get some mgp to waste on some silver tt card packs in the hope of a lahabrea card, but nope, no lahabrea card either. I can't even make it to 60 cards. I'm done wasting my time on tt until they fix the drop rates. It was fun at first but now it's an unnecessary PITA. Sure, I'll eat breathe and sleep tt card farming for a month to get a 60 card deck, said no one ever :rolleyes:

RNG is bad, but not that bad. True - those are average numbers when you are having bad luck (not extremly bad, but not good enough), but you can't have it all the time. I know people who did The Dragon's Neck for 500-600 times before getting card (including me), but then they would get Onion Knight from WoD in 5 +/- runs. I know people who were 300+ Shiva Hard runs and still don't have card, but they would get Bartz in 20-30 runs. I know people who are 600+ on Tataru and still no Lightning, but, again, they would get Swift card in 10 matches. I also did about 80 Proletariums with no card and then got it from Imperial.

So, yes, this rng is believable, but not for single character.

I respectfully disagree :) There's a lot of drops in this game that seem to be around 1% I don't know how close this rate is to some of these tt card drops, but it doesn't seem far off. I can't justify that low of a rate on something like tt where it was a concept for something the general population could enjoy. Extremely low drop rates such as these seem to be driving more people away from tt than drawing them in.

Rng is luck, not skill. I've farmed these cards for a month now. A hundred runs for me, hundreds more for others. How much is "any effort?" 1,000 runs to get a Terra card for one guy, but 10 for another? I don't think it's unreasonable to think the guy with 1,000 runs of something doesn't deserve a Terra card for that effort. It'd be more unreasonable if we were upset we didn't get something in 50 or something runs, but we are talking at least double that.
