About RNG..

[Ninix]

Like Shioban said, technically it's not true randomness since it's not mathematically possible for a computer to generate truly random numbers without a source of entropy which I seriously doubt Square Enix (or any MMO for that matter) bothers with. But computers can come up with good enough pseudo-randomness for things like RPG rolls, so that's not really relevant for our particular case.

For all intents and purposes the RNG is sufficiently random. Unless SE is picking a bad seed for their random number generation (which wouldn't affect the pseudo-randomness of a particular sequence of numbers, merely the rate at which the sequence recurs), then it is not "broken". You'll have lots of people claiming different things like Ksenia up there, but the anecdotal report of one person (or even a hundred people) is not particularly useful when you have so many people playing the game. Yeah, some people might be really, *really* lucky/unlucky and are landing what seem like one-in-a-million odds, but... there are over a million people playing this game, so that's not particularly surprising.
