RNG, Why it exist, why it sucks, and how we can fix it.

[SirGazuntai]

I don't like the token system. It provides a steady rate of progress that makes a game very bland.

I prefer RNG where I can go into a dungeon and maybe get the loot I want. It's a system I'm used to due to single player games and a crapload of other games using it (the majority of RPG's out there use it).

Do I enjoy running the entire dungeon to get nothing? No, of course not, but I don't want gear handed to me either. MMO's are grindfests. There are MMO's out there that tried to remove the grindfest and give the kind of progress you're asking for and they failed and everyone went back to their grindfest MMO's.

As for what Ri_ri said, I capped my Myth every week I played. Every time I got a new ilvl90 piece of gear from it, I was no satisfied in the least. I didn't work for this at all. All I did was run WP more times than I wanted to. The very first time I got my first piece of Allagan gear, I was very satisfied. It took me 3 weeks, but I got it eventually.

If you don't like this kind of progress, either find an MMO that does it the way you like it or don't play MMO's if you don't want a grindfest.

EDIT: If beating an encounter got you a piece of gear, so many people would have it and never go into the content again. None of the fights in this game (or any MMORPG for that matter) are difficult enough to make this a thing. Not to mention selling runs is a thing.
