I really doubt you will find any player anywhere that has EVER said this is a good system.

yet, they still use it, and I dont see them changing that usage, hated mechanic or not. the rng here is bad, but not oppressive like in some games. might they one day come up with a better system, one hopes so, but I am not going to get frothy at the mouth over it, since its well about my pay grade as they say.
