It may have been mathematically consistent and it worked as the creator's intended, but it was still probably the worst (and most soulless) gearing system i've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. It was truly a horrible experience. For a game with such an amazing combat system, it was a total failure of a game. I, personally, believe it was simply due to the enchanting system.

FWIW I think NA TERA was around 1.5% or so. The average was around 60 attempts from what I saw online (not the most statistically relevant analysis I know) but a lot of us saw over 100 attempts. Also I think you mean 0.01 probability or 1% and not 0.01%.
