RnG is ruining this game

[GhulgraudBrave]

This games RnG system is one of the worst I have ever come across, there is nothing you can do to even give yourself a higher chance of gaining certain materials or loot which is bull, for example I have spent 2 full fishing windows trying to catch one of the Legendary fish which has been about 45 mins of real time so far only to have another person come along and get the fish within 2 mins, this is a complete joke and a complete disregard of players time and needs to be addressed ASAP

If you think RNG is bad in FFXIV, never play Lost Ark.

First the entire fisher toolkit is basically rng mitigation. Surface slap, chum, IC, patience, everything AA related, mooch 2, the multihooks. There's also resources for bite window times and durations if you're really keen.
Second, the legendary fish are strictly for bragging rights and contribution to a title. There's a select few arr big fish that can desynthesise into rare items, but that's basically it as far as crafting or loot goes.

Wouldn't like a lot of other MMORPGs then. RNG has always been a massive part of MMORPGs and it used to be a lot worse in other games. Now if you play games with lootboxes you may not like your RNG there either.

The RNG on things like fish is really a relic of their old design philosophy and a lot of the game has moved away from that in favor of making it more casual. The RNG is still quite heavy in a few areas of the game but it could be so, so much worse.

RNG is RNG but some rng is a bit ridiculous. I've been trying to get the mini troll on an alt since EW came out, been doing that dungeon once a week (several times at the beginning) and still nothing yet I got it first try on my main. There is no other way to get that minion as it's non tradable. Same thing with Drippy in Matoya's cave but at least that one can be found on the MB: I gave up and bought it after 1.5 years lol.

Casual reminder that given a 10% success rate, every roll is a 10% success rate. The number of rolls you take does not increase your success rate, e.g. rolling 9 times does not guarantee that roll 10 will be a winner. The number of rolls you take only increases the likelihood that you might get into the 10% bracket needed to win and is in itself a different set of odds altogether.

If you roll on a 10% success rate 100 times and fail every time, it's statistically significant to suggest that there's probably something wrong with the RNG.
