But it is so rewarding when you finally get that drop. People know you "worked" hard for it.

Because of the RNG gates everywhere in this game, I can't respect anyone who has gotten their drops, because for all I know, they're one of the lucky ones. Which nettles me because I'm one of the unlucky ones balancing out the average against -multiple- lucky people. If anything, the game is teaching me to resent people, and I'm trying to not let it sink in.

I don't even feel relief when getting drops anymore, much less any joy or pleasure. There's this strong sense of disbelief because I can't help but look back on That-One-Week-Straight-of-Over-100-Runs-and-No-Drops and take that streak as my norm, my "truth", while I just move on to the next one because I inexplicably still want to get these done.


I think some means of capping drop rate wouldn't make me any happier with the game, but it would at least feel better than what I've gone through. And I can only appreciate it because I've had that kind of misfortune. But I also think that it would still be unfair to have RNG+caps; you can hit caps and still resent the people who 1/1'ed on everything.

The non-RNG grinds are boring, and fair, but they're probably disliked by more people. As much as I hate being on the losing end, I admit that having some RNG is probably better for the game's health.

If possible, I think some sort of compensation system would be better. People ultimately want their drops, but it'd be nice to have effort duly rewarded as well. I just don't know what sort of compensation would be nice. And it can't be something farmable from just anyone spamming dungeons, because that would promote more dungeon bots.
I think the way lucis tool NQ turn-ins sort of give you a second chance is a step in the right direction though.
