Please reconsider RNG system (Dev Request)

There's nothing they can do to change it as then it wouldn't be random... (and if they did, what about the other 7 people and their rolls?)

They can change it to not be random - or have fail safes. Someone, for example, suggested that 99 totems that drop anyway (currently used for weapons) can be used to purchase the whistle.

This is what I wanted to refer to, but the character limit wouldn't let me. Well, they managed to do something like that for Savage already. You either get your drop or a page which you can later trade for your desired item.

I also spotted something weird in all this. Ever noticed someone always rolls above 90 for a primal mount? I have not seen a single person winning it with 72 or 85 for example. Another thing is that I never ever actually seen someone rolling a perfect 100.

I believe the first mount I've ever won was with a 27. I think it's just statistics though. Chances are 1 in 10 that a person will roll between 90 and 100, and there are 8 people rolling. I don't feel like doing the maths, but that seems like decent odds that someone will roll above 90.

Any given player has a 10/99 chance of rolling a 90 or higher (since 100 and 0 aren't possible results for a need/greed roll.) The odds of at least one person rolling 90 or more are the inverse of the odds that no one rolls that high. 1 - (89/99)^8 = roughly a 57.3% chance that at least one person rolls 90 or higher if everyone rolls for it. The probability increases slightly if multiple people can't roll the same value.

So it's fairly common for someone to roll 90 or more. If it happens every time then that's possibly a bit suspect, but anecdotal reports of this could be attributable to small sample size and/or confirmation bias.

You can't roll 100, it only goes from 1-99 (with 0 being reserved for passes.)

I won a Rose Lanner with a 79, and saw someone before that win with 59.
