It seems to me that the Master Book II lottery may be the straw that breaks the camels back with me and FFXIV.

I can successfully craft a balanced darksteel hook every time I try if so desired. The problem is getting a HQ item. I now have 1 HQ and 20 NQ sitting in my inventory after at least 50 attempts (reclaim). None of my attempts at actually finishing a rotation were made with less than 12% HQ chance the highest being 20%.

I know things need to have randomness but this is ridiculous.

I'd rather save time and buy lottery tickets for 100k gil and press one button to try for a HQ than continue to waste so many hours on rng that is rigged so badly.
