RNG is a cruel joke
Drops are gambling – if you don’t want to gamble, then you shouldn’t ever really play any games as that is all they are along with a time sink.
^Except that the only games like that are RPGs.
Anyway, yeah the RNG can be pretty cruel sometimes. I hate RNG based gameplay myself, but studies have shown that random reward systems have the strongest incentive for conditioning behavior. So, as far as MMOs and RPGs go, RNGesus is here to stay.
I don’t have opinions. I only have facts I can’t adequately prove.
