crafting is gone

[Tomoebi]

If you do everything correctly raiding, you succeed. Always? No. If you are good at it... then it might be “always”.

If you do everything correctly crafting, you succeed. Always? Yes. Like you say, this is because crafting is a completely fixed system, ever since RNG was removed from crafting. If you simply pause a craft before Byregot’s you avoid “poor” which is the only possible (rare) RNG.

That is the problem. Easy means you always succeed. People argue that RNG does not equal difficulty, but at least it makes crafting somewhat more difficult, you are no longer guaranteed to succeed. Is difficulty not defined by how hard it is to complete something successfully? If you did a perfect crafting rotation, and at the end you only have 10% chance of HQ... would you still say it is easy? That was crafting at lv 50 getting master books. Now, crafting with no RNG is like... a boss that spams a single attack.

this is comparing apple to orange.
raiding consist of multiple people, crafting as you said is much more streamlined process with a fixed system.

Now, crafting with no RNG is like... a boss that spams a single attack.

not a good comparison, crafting with no RNG is like a boss that will always hit you for a set amont of HP each time.
example : boss skill A will hit you for 500, skill B will hit you for 1k

if you add RNG to it, there will be a chance of randomness/critical, which means it can hit you for 2k


rng in DoH is just a gimmick to make you grinding or delay your progression. like a gacha

anyway, im actually agree with OP that high level stuff need to be harder. but it shouldnt heavily relied on rng, it is a tired concept of difficulty, and should be used as minimum as possible in modern games.
