    But there is more than one drop in a dungeon. Each drop has a statistic possibility of being something you can need on. Therefore, the option of needing on an item for the seals is in fact available to everyone, just not all on the same piece of gear.

    A whm can need a whm piece out from under that PLD for the seals as easily as a PLD can need a PLD piece out from under a WHM. Statistically, it's an even playing field.

    Statistically, every household in the USA had around 145k-170k dollar monetary assets and around 56k national debt in 2015 (Numbers vary by source).

    So...statistically, the entire national debt could just be paid off in one day and everyone would still have around 40-50/90k-110k left (Depending on household size - average is 2,5 people, which would put the remainder of cash at 5k-30k). That's how the situation looks statistically. Sounds like a pretty good plan, eh?

    I can only chuckle when people are bringing statistical arguments.

    That's the person that decided to bring math into it, not the person you quoted, so if you're not chuckling at the right person, I'll be chuckling at you.

    Are you aware that you're making fun of "statistics" while playing a MMORPG which mostly relies on them for... well... almost everything? Heck, our whole society relies on maths and statistics to even work.

    Besides, aside from making a completly absurd comparison, you haven't said why his approach would be wrong, making your post irrelevant. Good job at proving nothing.

    I can only chuckle when people make their rebuttal based on only part of someone's post rather than the whole point.

    That big bad Paladin needed something out from under you, but you can do the same when something drops for your role. Unless you're honestly trying to say the RNG is out to get you (lol...), there is no problem here.
