Square Enix, please think about both Casual AND Hardcore crafters..

This is the ignorance I was talking about that borders on willfully obtuse. Don't mind disagreement but don't taint good logic with just putting words in someone's mouth. Where in that did I say players choose randomly?

I very clearly detailed where RNG is in the example and the player randomly choosing their own actions through pure RNG was not even implied.

I clearly explained that while a player has situational awareness to use for actions, they can at any point go against the grain for advantage or mix-up. There is the RNG that the opposing side deals with.

If you can't grasp this then forget it. I've read your other posts and this level of understanding matches up. Just wanted to make sure no one else fell for it.

Don’t bother. Some people just have a one track mind, no matter what you try to say to them.

Honestly, I've found with the new Ishgard items that it really depends on if you get a poor proc on Byregot's or not. It definitely happens quite a bit. I've got several rotations that will get me 100% with NQ mats, but if I get a poor quality proc for Byregot's it ruins the whole thing.

That’s interesting. Still though, I was hoping for this to be harder even with max melds. I know the overhaul isn’t completely finished until 5.2, but this really makes me scared for 5.2.

Do you not understand what RNG means?

You used a bad example, and in your own post refute your argument.

Right here:

The main thing a player adds to a fighting game vs a bot is RNG.

I put no words in your mouth. I quoted you directly. Now I've done it twice.

I guess it's possible you don't know what RNG means so here you go:

Random number generators
RNG.
RNG is a game term that is an acronym for "random number generator". Random number generators (or, more correctly, pseudorandom number generators) are algorithms used in computing when an outcome needs to be as random as possible.

If you used the wrong words here, that's on you. But you quite specifically said that players add a random factor to fighting games. And no.. player actions in fighting games are entirely deliberate.

Fighting games are actually just a horrible analogy here too. Crafting is a puzzle, not a battle. You can either solve the puzzle or you can't. In this game we also add stats to your character that define your capabilities as far as solving particular levels of this puzzle goes. But it's still just a puzzle.
