Newbie Rant - RNG

[KenjiChan]

Look, I perfectly understand that luck plays a part in determining things - in real life and in games. I get that. However, never, EVER mistake luck for skill or challenge! It isn't! With the RNG everywhere, the game feels like gambling everywhere! If I wanted to gamble, I'd go to a casino or Gold Saucer, not a fantasy MMORPG! I don't mind if you wanna keep the RNG, but keep it restricted to things like monster drops or Gold Saucer events or critical hits - not EVERY. SINGLE. ASPECT. OF. THE. GAME.

TL;DR - THE RNG CAN KISS MY *censor censor censor censor*!!!!



*Takes a deep breath* Right. Sorry guys, had to get that out of my system. I highly doubt the developers will read this but I still felt like getting this out there. If you've read the entire way through, kudo for listening to a noob spit fire and brimstone every which way. Please have a pleasant day

One of my personal flaws is definitely impatience - I'm the 'fast and efficient' kind of guy and don't like dilly-dallying. I'm trying to work on being calmer and more patient, but sometimes I blow up. Like that. *points up* ._.;

Find something you want to focus first ...
You can ask some of your experienced friends for help, some of them can give some advice or tips.
There is always a way and you will find it.

I'm okay with some random elements. How they're presented, on the other hand, that's a topic for a whole other debate. A game can be a lot of fun to play, but still have glaringly obvious flaws that need to be addressed. A lot of them seem to be the 'elephant in the room', that is, an obvious truth which goes ignored or simply not addressed. When someone does point it out, people just argue 'it's always been that way' as if that's something to be proud of.

Change can be a good thing, but it's often met with heavy resistance. A lot of people know they aren't getting what they want, but can't put into words what it is they DO want. Change is needed, change is necessary. Only time will tell if our voices have been heard though.

so what do you suggest for WoD? , there are 8 players in your party all wanting loot....how u avoid RNG there? and please dont tell me tokens or another currency , we have enough of that.

Crafting i agree , is frustrating for no reason other than because was created by SE everytime a crafting fails i hear the sound of my crystal breaking (FFXI any1? :P)

fishing i hate it in every game (well wow fishing is ok , at least there u can choose what u are fishing and is 100% )

For WoD, quite simple: More drops and items per chest - say, three items per chest. I've never had a complaint about Syrcus Tower because a lot of the time, I walk out with something - Oil/Sands of Time, Allagan Tomestone, or heck, even a piece of gear I wanted. That was because there were so many items and we didn't all have to roll a dice so hard over each and every one of them.

Look upon the one true Random Numbers God for He is your Lord and Savior, the Testament to your will! This heresy you so found of is but a child of your own ignorance, a blight upon the realm. Look onto yourself - what do you see there? What CAN you see there? Beyond the RNG? Beyond the grind it brings which you despise so?

Liked - Not even mad here, I'm too busy laughing. XD

Sad truth is... it is actually much easier to craft HQ in this game compared to other games.

By using HQ mats, proper gear and proper rotations - you can almost guarantee HQ on stuff that is even a 4-star craft.

Then you look at other games.... FFXI, TERA, Aion, etc - you just hit the craft button and pray to fucking god it HQs with like a 1%-25% HQ rate.

If the game lets you HQ every single time, there would be no value in HQ
