Pure RNG is the worst thing ever.

You can get a gaurenteed 130 weapon from T11 for example. "This Statment is FALSE" You are not gaurented to finish T11 or get the weapon of your choose. please see: T 11 gives out Encrypted Tomestones and Wires which can be traded in to upgrade Ironworks weapons. Side note: Some Ironworks weapons have worthless stats for certain jobs, Fact. Also see: Iron works weapon don't have the custom stats that Relic weapons have Fact.

So its really just putting in extra work for something you just personally would like. This is pure personal opinion and is not fact.

ps: Make you own mind up on how you choose to arm yourself. Get the facts.

Are you serious? You do get a guaranteed weapon if you get both drops from T11. The assumption he's making is that you finish it and has that much poetics, which is not the concern of his statement. You get the tombstone and the Carbontwine, you're getting an i130 weapon.

I've seen relic weapons with the most useless bundle of stats on it....and not just put on because they wanted to complete Novus.

Yes, and understand that all that you said is your personal opinion as well. Relic is putting in extra work for something that is specialized with the stats that that player wants the most. A WHM Nirvana with max Crit/SS isn't ideal but if that's what they put on it, it's what they worked for. It's personal and by no means the best that a WHM should have.

Also fact. A lot of players could care less about the customizable stats. I see a bunch without any relic and think that Poetics and Dreadwyrm are the greatest ever since sliced bread when all I see are gross stats.

What?
And allow you to spend less time on the game and thus less time subscribed?
Why on earth would they do that?

Zodiac quest will make you quit Final Fantasy XIV. I ask you now...abandon it already. There are better things to do in this game.

To be honest I'm getting sick of RNG it's pretty much driving me from playing anymore. I'm losing so much motivation due to it. 80% success rate for HT+SH2 for synths and it blows up like it was a 20% chance. Key Item from dungeons for zodiac books, going 40 times in sastasha HM with no KI reward and 20-30x in other dungeons. Now I'm trying to change pace and farm TT cards and this is my result every freak'n window for the past 3 days.

I've about 40 Pap&Yda cards from this guy. Obtained Ramuh twice. Won over 200 matches against him. Still no Kan-E card yet. Tho someone else wins 3 times and obtains it. 0/50 in Ultros fight too for Terra and saw people who don't even play TT get the card multiple times. Preformed party for Ultima farm went 0/15 and a guy in our party got the card 3x in a row. There's a fine line for making someone work towards obtaining something with seeing a reward and setting up a system where people lose hope because they've worked their butt off for so long and see no reward and watch people who do little around them obtain what they work hard for easily. So here's a thought why don't we let SE's paychecks be dished out by their RNG system? I'd love to see the tunes they sing when the guy who works 8 hours gets a $1500 paycheck for the week and the guy who works 60hrs+ gets a $25 paycheck.

Yea I'm venting. But seriously this is just getting annoying and I know I'm not the only one who feels it.

From a player perspective: Yes! RNG is the embodiment of all evil and should be stamped out furiously.
from a business perspective: no. RNG is a effective business strategy that has been proven to work. it keeps subscribers simply because it gives them just the tiniest bit of hope that they will eventually get that drop so by the time it happens they have their scope set on something else (also RNG based) to work on. it's like a massive wheel, and your the mouse making it spin round-and-round. If they didn't, the majority of the player-base would get the majority of their in-game goals accomplished with little to no trouble and then *gasps* stop playing! we can't have that now can we?

I really like that idea. They seem to think RNG is fair, so why not?

Over 300 shiva extreme farm runs and no pony.
Well, someone will go through the same or even worse. Oh man that cracks me up. How lovely.

Im just going to wait for the expansion when they reset all the gear and nonthing mattered.
