Square Enix's RNG

[Murakamo]

This is entirely within tolerances for RNG. It's just a bad string of luck.

Honestly people. We really do need hard numbers here and not anecdotal evidence. If you think something is wrong then document it and prove with a high enough sample size. PROVE IT PEOPLE! This is something the player base can absolutely prove. Stop complaining and actually do something to prove to SE that there is a problem. That's what gets things done around here.

Why should we have the prove anything when SE has the formula for their RNG generators sitting on the desk of their office? SE knows if something is up and they can choose to investigate it or not.

Because SE probably knows it works perfectly as they sit there laughing there asses off at the players raging. Random number generating algorithms are very common and extensively tested. It is very probable SE is using a standard algorithm, and didn't write their own since there wouldn't be much benefit in reinventing the wheel. Which would mean there isn't a problem at all. If the players would take the time to try and prove the problem exists they might actually discover it works just fine, or if they find there is a problem then it might garner some real attention from SE who is likely sitting back feeling very confident in their industry accepted algorithm. So far no one cares to study this with a large enough sample size and they just want to complain instead. If I was SE I would expect that the generator is working perfectly because there is no real reason to expect that it isn't. From a programming perspective what everyone thinks is happening is actually a very unlikely scenario. It is more likely that personal perceptions are playing strongly in players minds and are making them perceive a problem that does not actually exist.
