    Easy enough to find if you browse around. Also, 16 is obviously an erroneous figure but I've seen that figure surpassed on multiple occasions.

    It's reasonable to assume it happens elsewhere, besides just in front of me or apart from those who decide to post it to Reddit.

    Heck, I got up to 14 consecutive failures myself.

    It's just fact that it happens period, even if only to a handful of people, it's too punishing still IMHO.

    I just don't think it makes for good gameplay whatsoever.

    I think SE puts too much reliance on "pure" or "true" RNG.
    The statistical possibility of failing 16 in a row even with 50% are excessively low. I'm not saying that it never happened to anyone but I highly doubt it's as common as you're making it out to be.

    Could it be better ? Sure. Is it as bad as people are making it out to be ? Not at all.

    I hate %s.. lol, even when I'm lucky I can't help but think some poor soul just got back stabbed. You know "shit happens" when you fail 95% success rate for all gathering attempts on a +1 gathering node (thankfully it was all garbage materials and I laughed at how /incredibly/ lucky (unlucky) that moment was).

    It would be nice for each failed attempt you get one guaranteed attempt of the same materia and grade.
    It does suck to fail at a high percentage chance of success but as long as it isn't 100% chance, the probability that it might fail will exists. Like I said in the previous quote, it could be a better system but it's far from being as bad as people are making it out to be.
