Low probabilities of Triple Triad drops, big fish, etc. Grinds becoming unreal.

And some people with fulltime jobs, partners, kids, hobies other than XIV also don't mind the grind. Don't pretend just because you think it's not worth the time that others dont.

I dont mind the grind either, but that doesnt mean I have to argue for arguments sake and claim that a grind + heavy rng+ high difficulty is fine.

This is after having gotten these cards already also. This kind of luck is not possible I don't think? Seems like they have not bad drop rates.

This is me trying to get Gaius, which yes is a harder card to get, it is a 5 star card. OP is saying they could not get ANY cards though...
If you are going after a 5 star card then yes expect to spend a lot of time, I personally still do not have Gaius which is why right now I am here at Imperial trying to get it.

That just shows you are arguing without actually knowing the rates of the cards you are talking about. The imperial has a pretty high drop rate on both 2 and 3 star cards.
Higher then most npcs do in fact.
I've read what the OP said about not getting any cards at all. But I've also read not a single other person mentioning not getting any cards.

I see you are done with pretending, and full out with insulting. No matter, I will respond properly to your reply.

There was no research, as noone actually knew.I did not waste my time, as the example was ment to illustrate how I do not mind grinding. If I did, would have I have fought that npc for 3 hours straight on the mere off chance of him having a card? No.


How good you are at TT or not, has nothing to do with this. As Kenji explained quite well already in another thread I believe: you will need to farm NPCs for their cards to reach 60. And some NPCs are simply too strong too farm.
This is where the rng comes in, since some might have gotten a rare card from defeating a npc once or twice, where the actual average rate might perhaps be 200 wins.
This is rather bad design, imo. Fighting these npcs is challenging, and rightfully so.
But to have their reward depend 100% on rng?

Several guides are also already posted for each NPC on how to beat them by manipulating their AI. Your struggling now more because of your lack of research vs myself who didn't have any of this information at the beginning. But who is complaining? The person who has the information at their hands, not the one who had to figure it out by themselves.

And more insults. I do not believe I mentioned struggling on any npc. (altho certain npcs are definately hard to defeat, by anyones standards) I would strongly advise you to actually read through peoples posts before you post your bile.

Lets not forget the regional rules that rotate daily to make these NPCs that host Random and Chaos rulesets mountains easier.

I believe you mentioned research? Well, if you had done more research you would know that certain npcs are unaffected by regional rules.

I rest my case.

People in this thread do not feasibly accept that it's not 100% because if this they did, this very thread would not exist. My question to those is what is acceptable to you? Something you can obtain in less then 10 tries? How much of a % is ok if not 1%?

We are not a mob, we are individual posters in here. There is no ''people in this thread''
Please dont make a complete fool out of yourself.
