Rng actually, needs change

Community General Discussion

inb4 the people stating the useless obvious “RNG it how it works”, i get this is a topic talked to death, defended to death, and hated to death.

it being rng means absolutely nothing, when the CHANCES of said rng, can be altered negatively and positively and compensation rewards SHOULD be greatly increased.

but anyway, is it really neccessary to go 17 dungeons, without a single loot drop???

i’ve spent so long doing dungeons, to get absolutely nothing but like 2 gold?

the compensation “reward” is laughable, heres a few measly gold coins that’ll get you nothing and never amount to anything, for the 15-20 sometimes even 30 minutes spent, depending on the group.

it’s getting real frustrating, looking at bosses having like 3 loot drops, but get nothing, again and again and again and again, there’s no reward in doing dungeons unless you get loot, but HEY, have this useless matrix core, that get’s you zero ilvl’s for crafting, maybe you can make gold huh, funny how the matrix cores you get from normal dungeons at 70, aren’t scaled to be near the actual ilvl’s you get from loot in normal dungeons at 70.

maybe, just reward me for doing a dungeon, putting in hours of my time, to get nothing, isn’t really fun.

dungeons for the most part, are rarely even fun to warrant doing just for doing it.

inb4 someone goes, “ugh, the entitlement” nothing entitled about it, i’m doing the work, i expect to get paid for my work, every time i do the work.

maan, am i tired of this garbage.

Oh yes. Or a vendor.
Been farming for 3 weeks for a trinket to replace my 408 icon.

Been farming Halls and Neltharius for it combined nearly 50 times.
I just can’t get it. I’ve seen 5 other people get it now and some of them the worst garbage players i’ve seen.

For 2 weeks i’ve gotten the useless D tier flowstone in my vault.

I really hate this game, so much. I’m really at my breaking point.

Stupid game. The RNG will forever be there sadly. It’s the only thing that keeps people subbed. And they know it. But i’ve soon had enough of this trash tier game.

Doesn’t help that i’m healing, healing is extremely stressful, but fun at times.

less fun, when MULTIPLE people ignore boss mechanics and lose 80% of their health at once, should be a one shot imo, so people will learn to actually do mechanics.

but rng COULD be better, you shouldn’t have to go 17 runs to get nothing.

Or rely on a trashy weekly vault that ends up disappointing you or give you useless crap.
Or lock raids to a weekly instance.

They should add a bad luck vendor. Earn some coins when you get jacksh!t and trade it in for an item you decide, just like FFXIV does it.

Ahh, all the old false premises flying out on this one.

First off, i call bs on no drops from 17 dungeons. A well geared char doing dungeons may no see a useful drop in ages, and thats a different proposition.

Also, ‘i did the work’ -naw you just played a game, its meant to be fun. If you want to clock in for a quantified reward log off wow and go run around a warehouse for amazon.

first off, well geared?

my alt dracthyr is like ilvl, 320 smh, i have my main as my forum character.

secondly, yes it is a game, i find it fun to level alts and get gear, so what? my fun doesn’t matter because you think yours is superior, how is that fair?

your logic is flawed and biased, it’s obliviously clear that you shouldn’t even talk in a discussion forum, you offer nothing valuable to it.

thirdly, yes i did 17 runs, haven’t gotten anything in those 17 runs and i refuse to count titan matrixes, it seems you do not understand how rng works at ALL, let me educate you.

if you have a 50% chance of getting an item, you also have a 50% chance of not getting anything at all, if you are VERY unlucky, you could potentially, theoretically, go forever without getting anything, how you see 17 runs without getting anything to be BS, is just beyond me, i’m guessing you have opted to take the ignorant stance of “it hasn’t happened to me, so it couldn’t possibly be happening to other people.” when the fact is, bosses in dungeons have a less than 50% chance of dropping anything, so your chances of getting something is much smaller, than the chances of not getting something.

please refrain from dismissing my claims because you simply don’t believe me, i do not need you to believe me, your belief has zero impact on the truth, the truth is, rng is absurd and needs a look into, or at the very least award us MUCH bigger portion of gold than what? 100gold???

it’s a well known fact, that blizzard is afraid of rewarding it’s players.

I do think RNG is over-used in WoW and often mis-used.
Paragon boxes were a dreadful use of RNG, having a grind for an RNG chance (pretty low too) is terrible game design. Paragon boxes as a concept (rewarding continuous play) is fine but don’t make them unique rewards through RNG - make the rewards currency or similar.

Also having the current FOMO event having quite a low RNG isn’t great. The Treasure Goblins will only be here for a short period of time. I missed a week of it due to a trip and now I am doing it daily but might not get the pet or mount (wanting the pet more).
This isn’t like Headless Horseman where you get to try it every year.

We need more bad luck protection (whether bonus rolls or currencies), duplicate prevention, less FOMO time limited rewards gated by RNG.

Some RNG in some circumstances works fine but quite often it is just frustrating.

Havent played m+ since last season and even then i just played for mount and stopped (full pvp gear), so my oppinon might not be right but still ill give it a shot.

A month into season or some “X” time, they should give us a vendor where you could buy at least lowest (base m+ ilvl )possible gear from dungeons so at least you have bis items, then let rng / valor or whatever upgrade those items eventually.

Will never happen with the vault in place probably.
The weekly reward was exactly what replaced the vendor iirc

Don’t bother arguing with this person, they are a well known troll in these forums. Just look at the amount of posts they have. They always disagree with everyone and aaaalways have the opposite opinion. It’s quite something to behold.

Yup, some people are just spiteful.
There are two of these nasty regulars here on the forums i’ve noticed.

Always negative, never have anything constructive to say.
