    I can agree that the RNG for many of the cards is simply too low. I can also see how some of the NPC challengers can make people quit TT altogether.

    The development team did a great job with TT and how the game is played, I won't deny this. However, by wanting to keep us around for as long as possible, they undermined the fun of it all with ridiculous RNG, like OP mentions, tedious NPCs and even more frustrating (and on a more personal note) those horrible timed NPCs with random rule and a deck of like 7 or 8 card, 3 of the cards being 4* and above. Not. Fun.

    Would it be too much to ask for more balanced NPCs with a much fairer drop rate? Its as if they don't want us to have a full set of cards for some reason.

    They already removed Random on new NPCs and cards have a decent drop rate now.

    They did?
    Well, you can clearly see its been a long time since I even thought about Triple Triad. Is there a list anywhere on people who had their random rule removed? I might challenge them sometime.

    On another note, when was the last time you actually played TT with another player just for fun, no tournament matches? TT seems so dead on my server, its not even funny.

    Sorry, I meant that new NPCs (3.1 ones) didn't have Random rule on them, not that previous ones had it removed.

    I play TT with friends from time to time, otherwise yeah, it's dead.

    Yes, I'm talking about NPCs introduced in 3.1.

    TT's probably dead on most servers because most people don't have the patience to deal with the npc difficulty and/or the miserable drop rates. I've been farming Vault of all places for nearly a week. STILL hasn't dropped. Vault. A 3 star card. Maybe I'm just unlucky but when I see how annoying it is to just get this measly 3 star card to drop from a pre-60 dungeon, I'm not feeling all that good about the exp dungeon cards, void ark, or thordan.
