"The Adventures of RNG!" Top 3 Hamlet Provisioner

[Scytale]

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be sponsored by my Hamlet LS to go for a Top 3 slot. For those who have gone for the Top 3 you realize this is more of a group effort, meaning many sacrifice their time and fun for the benefit of the one.

Though the competition was intense, I came in 3rd. My LS was happy to see their hard work pay off, one less person needing seals, leading to the ultimate goal of us earning our Relics.

Last night we were able to run 6 Hamlets before it became too late to keep going (my LS is only 'part-time' hardcore). Each of those 6 Hamlets were wins with scores greater than 60K.

From those 6 Hamlets, I received 1 seal, and 5 sets of Ebonknots. Not only was I shocked at such a result, my entire LS was rocked to their core. The hours of farming and buying provisions had all but been a waste.

I understand RNG, however I believe in a situation such as Hamlet where community effort is a must to succeed, why would there be such a brutal system in place to punish everyone? If it were just my supplies I would be the only person affected, but this goes beyond that.

I truely believe SE needs to re-look their drop rate on Top 3 Provisioners. If SE wishes us to play and function as a Community, by George they need to support their Community and reward their efforts from time to time. Had I known the Top 3 Provisioner RNG was so bad, I would've never even tried.

I can only hope I cam sneak out early from work today and PUG some Hamlet later. I don't want to let my friends down...
