RNG Logic [Concerned] Question

[WiseWolfHolo]

Wait you see bard loot and drg loot, I wish to be in your party. 12 weeks of coil 1 left side bard drop 2 accessories and that is all. Still though would rather go back to 1.0 randomness than this weekly lockout(which is even more painful when you go by week for week and still never see an item drop)

It's random.. I've seen very few tank pieces in the Coil.. like 4 in total in the months we've been running it. On the other hand, the other group our FC runs has seen enough to deck out their tanks. We're just unlucky. Sorry. Level up a BRD or DRG and go to Coil with it, then the tank stuff will drop

On a side note, we just seem to get healer items.

I don't understand rng as well. I've been doing coil for 8 weeks and never saw pld body or hands drop, cleared coil t1-4 just now and on t1 it was both maiming accessories and on t4 drg head and mnk hands...wtf how is this possible

I wish you were in my server :/ We could mess up with the RNG since I never see DRG and to me it seems every chest has tank gear. You never see tank gear but you see plenty of DRG gear. What would happen if we ran dungeons together?
RNG would be totally confused and would not know what to drop. I guess we would only see Bard gear.

I personally believe that it isn't truly random.

No RNG ever is.

They all are, but the odds of you seeing brd, drg, mnk, pld, war, whm, blm, smn, sch is the same as you seeing drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg.

If the odds of any given drop pattern from CT is 1000/1 and there are 5,000 CT runs per week 120 (24x5) people, on average, are going to see that drop pattern.

Random Number Generator does exactly what its name implies; generates numbers randomly. We are predisposed as humans to see patterns where there are none.

Lol. My bard has only 2 drops since September. Actually 3. One of them was the chest they didn't need at all. Rng sigh. I rarely see drg too. still waiting on my turn 4 visor. Gonna get myth though .

I'm from Coeurl. I ran CT this week. We got 3 dragoon onions, 1 tank gauntlets, 1 prostitute tank legs, and I got my monk top.

RNG is RNG is RNG. Sometimes it feels like the gods are plotting against you or for you. Goods were on my side that day. Heh.

My point was that RNG in games is never truly as random as say a human throwing a die. Doesn't mean it doesn't work. Games tend to have Psuedorandom generation, ie it's all based on an algorith. Without basing the algorithm on some random real life event or whatnot, it's not truly random.
