Last I checked I was a western player.
Also, aren't these western players you are talking about running the same 2 dungeons for months now?




Do you know why drop % worked years ago? Because they werent RNG dependant, they were random drops. Random back then actually followed a set average, so you would approach the average (and actual drop chance) if you killed said mob often enough.

What we have these days is a horrid system because average no longer applies to it. You could kill a mob a thousand times and nver approach the average on its common drops. That is why people complain about RNG.

2 months isn't 7 years.

And you have absolutely no idea what RNG is do you? Because "random drop" IS RNG.

RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR.


For example of RNG:

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/treasure.htm

Your monster treasure is determined by die rolls. Roll the dice. If the number is a-b, they get this, c-d, they get this, etc.

Same rule is applied to other stuff as well. Your generator for that "random" drop is similar to "roll 100, if you get a 1-7, the item drops, if not, it doesn't."

And no, that doesn't mean you'll get it in X number of kills. You can, in theory, NEVER SEE IT, EVER.

And you think that's a great system. Riiiiight.

Edit: Still waiting for Aeyis to give us proof that it works the way they say it does.

It's a set percentage per kill. That's it. You roll a certain number on that die, you get the item. There is no "averages", there is no "you'll eventually get it because the system is set up that way", but there *is* "it could never ever drop for you, ever, in 10 years."
