Balls in your court SE

There has got to be a better way than the old RNG we have, you could theoretically NEVER get the item you are after, for instance I have run AK HM 30 times today and not once has either of the two drops Im after come out of the chest, yet healer and LNC gear has dropped for me EVERY SINGLE TIME. I like that the game has tokens but the beat gear is RNG, Im not saying gear should be all tokens, but rather the RNG type is outdated and punishes you based on luck not skill of beating the duty. There are few chests, and the chance that the item you need are LOW on top of having to roll against other players. Last week I got my poetics capped running WoD for the 120 chest and out of the 40+ runs I did only ONCE did the chest dropped and I rolled 98 and the other nin rolled 99 (they had the poetic 120 chest on too, while Im still in my 110 chest hoping to get the drop one day).

Now lets look at DCUO, the last "MMO" I played, after the out cry that RNG is simply too harsh, they went to "unattuned" drops, that is you beat X boss and you get a drop that you attune to you, so if you were on your healer and got a drop you could change to dps and attune the item to dps, this way you still have to run the content, BUT you get a personal drop guaranteed, it might be a drop you already have like say a chest, when all you need is the feet, but RNG only affected the TYPE of gear YOU got, while keeping RNG on other non gear items. I really loved this about DCUO, even with its many flaws, no one could say that drops were 100%luck because you got what you earned, not you beat boss and only heal gear drops, so healer got what you earned

I would really like to see this happen in this game, its hard for me to want to run something to the point where it becomes not fun, afterall I am paying SE because this game is fun (I love all Ff games, KH not so much) and at the point where it stops being fun I have an issue. Running one thing all day is not fun, and thats on my days off, with work and school I don't always have 8hrs to run the same thing in the hopes I get one drop

With Heavensward on the way its only going to add to the issue with 3 more classes that will have loot in the table, making RNG worse. SE got rid of the fat from XI (HNM's, de leveling, death penalties etc), so I will give them credit, they listen to their customers, now lets see if we cant do away with RNG (ó㉨ò)

What does this have to do with SE having balls in their court, and whose balls are they?

x3 It means there is a viable way to ensure everyone on the game has fun, keeping rare droos as RNG, amd not punishing those with bad RNG luck. All that remains is if SE will do something similar. Im not going to lie I thought about unsubbing for a min, after my runs in AK, but I love the game and tge friends I have made toi much, but Im not sure others would feel the same.

I honestly think the RNG system is extremely unfair when everyone is paying a monthly SUB for the game. The way it works has some people benefiting a lot more for the same thing that you or someone else is also paying for. There really needs to be a better way to provide loot and then winning said loot.
