    "RNG is RNG" - as quoted by all those with stockholm syndrome

    Square Enix RNG is not RNG.

    Maybe once their programmers figure out how to put actual RNG into this game, you can claim that. Or I dunno, maybe you like seeing "You obtain nothing." 3 times in a row on a 97% chance to succeed or having 8/10 desynths @ 70% blow up. Defending this kind of stuff is getting old.

    People complaining about statistically possible things happening to them is getting old. When there are over a million people doing something 1000 people are likely to see 1/1000 chance events occur. You are not special.

    It was a hyperbolic, not literal, example and pointed at her complaints about crafting and desynthesis.

    A few weeks ago in a thread similar to this one, I calculated out the likelihood of not getting 4 of the 9 weapons in 14 completions and getting 5 of the same weapon in 14 completions. ~12 in 1000 groups and ~5 in 1000 groups are accepted differently than 1.17% and .54% by most people even though they are the same number expressed differently.
