Guild Wars 2

RNG is fun! RNG is life! If RNG were a tangible object, I would roll around in it like an excited puppy. Anet needs to bring out more Black Lion Key sales, because my stack of chests is lonely.

People at times can get frustrated by their luck. But I’m here to tell you that the frustration exists only because you expect have luck on your side. The secret to enjoying RNG is to just let her be. Embrace the unknown, and when she blesses you with a desired outcome, the feelings of bliss are amplified to a degree that no mere word can describe.

RNG is the ultimate equalizer. There is no skill involved. Everyone’s luck is the same. Roll a 6-sided die, and you have the same chances of getting a 1, as you do a 6.

Lastly, RNG is forever “new content”. When you’ve done all there is to in this game, RNG will always be there to give you something to do. Open Champ bags. Open BL Chests. Throw swords into the Mystic Forge. If Anet were to ever stop producing content, RNG will still be there to support you, like an ever loyal companion.

Please share your love of RNG too while I fix myself another drink!

God Bless you Anet. You’re the reason America is great.

This is painfully true. About half a year ago i stopped to be hopefull while opening every champ chest, champ bag, bl chests and so on. For 2 and a half years i have been stressing out when will i get precursor, why is my acc cursed with bad luck and so on. Now, playing has become more fun because i don’t bang my head on brick wall called RNG.

RNG is bad when its the only means to an end.

That alone is the sole problem with RNG. People like to set and work toward attainable goals. Some randomness is acceptable, all randomness isn’t. The trick is knowing when and where to implement it.

Just remember: Luck is for other people.

if op love so much rng I’d advice him to check out Warframe :P
in case of gw2 – there is not enought rng in here for me to care about it – was never interested in those legenadries anyway (too ugly for my tastes)

Yeah. I read posts stressing about never getting more than an exotic every X amount of time or they know someone who just started and they got a prescursor last week and 6 tickets out of the last 3 BL chests.

You just need to play and not worry yourself about those things. I consider my account average in drops. Most of my gold is from intensive harvesting of nodes and doing key runs (which can be surprisingly lucrative if you are patient). If people keep staring at the other people’s lucky drops that get pinged in chat, then their own drops don’t seem good. They should remember that those lucky drops are from accounts like theirs that was just as “unlucky” right before that single lucky drop.

While I agree with your last sentence (not Anet specifically but business and capitalism in general Calvin Coolidge was the greatest president in history because he lowered the top tax rate, balanced the budget better than anyone else, and enacted policies that enabled massive economic, business, and job growth) I strongly disagree with your stance on luck. The flaws aren’t in some specific mechanic of luck but rather its very nature. Luck by definition relies on outcomes outside our control, therein lies the problem. If I get duds from RNG (common and “uncommon” dyes rather than exclusives for example) I just kick myself and say, “Drat! That could have been a guaranteed outfit instead!”

I think Twilight, The Dreamer, Kudzu, Predator, and Incinerator are pretty.
