If it is all about luck, then they should just use it everywhere. Why something like coil drops or poetry marks? Just RNG this, too. Everything for free, all you need is luck.

RNG is ruining this game. It's the one thing almost every player I ask, who leaves or plans to leave FF14 mentions, that the RNG is ruining it for them. And yes, they are getting over it. By leaving this game behind and playing something else.

I don't think, that's the goal of Square, to lose players. But, well, maybe I'm wrong.
...I kinda know its stupid to responsed to that, but what the hell

First: Sure, lotterys are ruining lifes. So does a lot of things. Videogames for example, please remove them because there are people who cant handle them. If you cant handle lotterys, please dont strip away my sort of fun, yeah? Also: with the limitation of one ticket per day, bought with a currency that is only used in the gold saucer I can hardly see who the cacpots are ruining someones life in Eorzea... Also: Now you're mentioning how bad and somehow dangerous lotterys are to do what? Asked for them to be removed completly? Wasnt it about "Give me the first price everyday!" when you started this thread?

Second: While I agree that they shouldnt use luck everywhere... this is a damn lottery - is it meant to be about luck, because thats the point of it. Ask for them to remove luck everywhere else in the game except in a lottery...

Third: I understand people who are complaining about RNG in coils, WoD, dungeons... I cant understand you though - you are complaining about a tiny, little piece of the game that was meant to be pure fun. That isnt about progression. That takes you like 5 minutes everyday (+100 MGP, which you will most likely get back - which is enough for me at last. I'm having fun solwing this little puzzle, picking a hopefully good line and checking if it was the best - had even a good laugh yesterday because nearly all my lines added up to 16 - which equals 72 MGP, but seeing that really made me giggle, maybe I'm weird?).

If this tiny little bit of a game that you enjoy otherwise is causing you so much anger and if you totally fail to see the point in it (lottery=luck) - maybe just leave it?

I'm pretty sure people might quite the game (or at least threat they will) because of bad RNG luck... but not because of bad luck in the mini-cacpot... so raising this point in a topic like this doesnt help to take you any serious...
