This isn't RNG, this is madness

Last night, I was farming Ravana EX with my static in an attempt to farm weapons for those who haven't gotten them before next Tuesday for Alexander Savage. Out of 6 runs, AST weapon dropped a whopping 4 times in a row.

Now, I am glad that they have added tokens for clears so people will never have to suffer again like I did with Shiva EX (43 runs before I saw a SCH book), but come on. That drop spread was as horrible as AST shuffling their decks, only to draw thr same card continuously.

Aha. Shuffle is a new feature where the devs sympathize with us to make it less RNG for us normal folks!

Don't you dare compare to that superiority...

5 is a small sample size. Having it drop 4/5 times is not statistically significant.

Now if you had run like 30 times and 20+ were the same drop, then you'd have a good reason to question RNG, but 4/5 isn't bad

I have been questioning RNG ever since I broke 3 crit materia in a row with a 94% chance of success on my relic. And considering there 12 possible weapons that drops now, not including the PLD shield... I dunno...

When I've seen Ravava shield drop, it has been in addition to a weapon. So it's still 1/12 for any given weapon.

1/13. There are 13 jobs.
PLD, WAR, DRK, WHM, AST, SCH, MNK, NIN, DRG, BLM, SMN, BRD, MCH

We had PLD weapon drop 4-5 times in 10 clears.

Just go in with the attitude to farm 10 tokens. If it drops before, that's a bonus.

RNG is RNG. Be glad those trial chests have only thirteen options as opposed to...whatever the drop rate is in dungeons.
Farmed the Library yesterday for my gloves for like, maybe.... two days straight. Made me cry.

I spent the last 3 days in the Aery trying to get the chest piece. Got every other gear piece and geared two alt jobs from greed rolls before I finally got it. XD

When Heavensward first dropped, I leveled from 51 to 55 off of Dusk Vigil alone trying to get the chest drop.
