Losing Faith in SE

Much the same, in that you don't get to come in and insult people for not posting in a manner that suits your personal agenda.

Sorry, but I'm done with you and this conversation.

Please, point out the insult. Only only sought to inform since you displayed a clear misunderstanding of the statistics here. You're too defensive and unwilling to accept that you might be wrong. Not even the slightest possibility that you could be wrong despite mountains of articles online detailing the exact fallacy you and others on this forum, in other games, in other fields, etc continue to make regarding RNG. This is such a common argument online it's not even funny. The sad thing is it isn't even a debate. It's flat out mathematical statistics.

It's probably best that you walk away.

Welcome to Earth. :P

Your posts have all but stated that I'm spreading bad information, that I'm uneducated and I have no clue what I'm talking about. You have done nothing but talk down to me since the first instance you quoted me.

I could only assume you didn't understand and I based that entirely on your original post. Never explicitly insulted. Did you take those statements a bit close to the heart? Maybe you should think about why.

Uh, there are spam filters.
Because of this the RMT spamer write in code.

At launch they spamed the /shout chat every 5 seconds. Now it is only 5 times the week in the /tell chat.

Excuse me but since you play on a Legacy Server... They ARE spamming the /shout again and not only every 5 seconds, when they start is 1 shout every second.

3. report as spam option on right click pop up 'tell' menu
4. make blacklisting account wide
5. make auto blacklisting reported spammers an option
6. make black list management easier
7. increase the size of the black list

This. 100% this. There was a suggestion that I've parroted a few times, and apologies for not remembering the original source for it, to include a temp account ban if they get a number of spam reports. I want that so much.

The RMT (at least on my server) is out of control. I'm constantly having to go /busy to avoid being sent junk tells every few minutes. This causes me to lose out any potential conversation with real game friends because they can't message you. Then everytime I go to any of the major cities, shout chat gets absolutely bombarded with the same gil seller shouting the same message up to 8-10 times in a row, every few minutes. Then the friend requests from lvl 1 Ughghh Sksksks in Ul'dah. OMG, enough to drive one insane.

As for the RNG aspect, I understand RNG is needed in games like this to expand the lifespan of content. However, often times in this game, it feels like an absolute joke. I've become especially aware of it lately as I've been trying to obtain alt gear from WOD (almost two weeks of non-stop WOD just to finally get the DRG chest) to leveling miner and seeing:

"You obtain nothing"
"You obtain nothing"
"You obtain nothing"
"You obtain nothing"

While having a 96% success rate.

I've been there, I think all of us have. It's take-a-walk-away-from-the-game frustrating. Unfortunately, it's RNG and that can happen. It feels wrong, but I've started trying to pay closer attention when the numbers go my way to help remind me that it truly is random.
