Its not interesting RNG, but its still relevant RNG.

Combat rng when it triggers is supposed to make a player happy, the same idea still happens with rewards. And in most cases with rewards it does this fine (yes, you might miss out all rewards due to only getting greed options). It feels in most cases fair. And when a mount drops directly from a trial, it feels fair when you lose it.

But this is where it ends. As its not just extreme trial rewards, its also for alliance raid outfits. These can have horrible rng and often involve quite a bit of time. If RNG isnt in your favor here, there is nothing you can do. At least for the extreme mounts the totems will eventualy give the rewards, but for alliance raids, you can realy only do the raid. Which with its waiting time is an even bigger grind than the extreme.

This is why i think harder to obtain rewards should involve a reliable fallback that doesnt involve excessive waits. The excessive wait is after all only feeling as a punishment since you already had back luck in the first place (as that pushed you into the grind).
