    Thats a quest already, no? Doesnt it activate when you hit 30 and lead you specifically to all the wings in the WT and tell you "This is where you buy iconic armor", "This is where you respec your powers", etc?

    It has been over a year since I got a character to 30, so maybe its gone now, but last I saw it was there

    Which words, specifically, make an insinuation?
    What "insinuation"? There are four sentences Spytle wrote:
    The first sentence is a statement of fact: it is not an insinuation. The second sentence says you are comparing two different things: this is not an insinuation. The thrid setence is a question; it is not an insuination. The fourth sentence is a request, not an insinuation.

    So: if Spytle made an actual insinuation in, you know, words, rather than this being a case of you having feelings without reading carefully, you can easily specify which sentence has the insinuation, and quote the words specifically making the alleged insinuation.

    But there isn't one. There's no insinuation or statement suggesting you've done something wrong. You're imagining that. Reread it.

    It was the cash gear set that made it a real issue. That was only introduced with Season 1 PvP gear. Prior to that it required actual PvP play and victories, which made it WAY less pervasive.

    Wait wait wait. I screwed up. Darn you, Tikkun! Having spoken to you on FNL, I can't help but respond. Let me try again.

    Spytle out!

    When literally EVERYONE had experienced the contrary, it becomes a rule that we have to abide with. Is it even a conspiracy at this point? we all KNOW that it is much easier to get OFF-ROLE gear than the gear you actually want.

    Maybe you have changed some loot rule percentages to make it look better now because you may have made it too obvious before that you programmed the loot rules to give OFF-role gear most of the time.

    If people got the gear they wanted then you wouldn't have needed to make 90 vendor gear available in DLC9 because people would have been happy about the loot rules. BUT that wasn't the case was it?

    I never knew players were using the PvP gear as soon as they hit 30, because it seems like a waste when they can get walked in any content on the game. This past weak, I've seen players with 4-5 88 pieces and the other piece range from reverse gear to amazon gear. The bigger issue imo anyway is the walk-ins, lol the players using the PvP gear is actually taking the high road as far as running the content. And using replays could be exploited this way too.

    The first known evidence of Deathmike Deathmiking out are from some ancient Mesopotamian clay vases recently unearthed by researchers from the University of Cambridge.

    well I am glad I did receive a response, but there is a problem with the RNG. There has been many threads created about this very subject, so I don't understand when you say that it does not work the way all of us players know it does. I was a controller and in one day I got all Tanks gear so I spent 10 bucks to switch my power to ice (I was sick of the way I was treated as a battery). As soon as I switched I stopped getting Tank gear, but thank you for your response now I know there is no problems with the RNG.

    not walking out of content with 100% gear you can use is not a problem with the RNG. before the new loot system, you ran instances and all too often walked out with ZERO gear. period. not just no gear you could equip but no gear you could even salvage. it's ridiculous to insist that you would get 4 drops from an instance all for yourself and all in your role and none of which you already had. yet that's what our community does. and blames a random number generator.

    in reply to this:

    I don't expect 100% just a 25% chance not the 2% chance I receive. it is a blatant slap in the face sure I get to break stuff down but I also would like my CR to go up.

    The hatred for the RNG is not unfounded though.

    Think of it this way, you have basically a 1/5 chance of getting your role of gear in Para (excluding weapon drops for simplicity) So you'd think after 5 raids you'll get a piece for your role right?

    Well that's not how RNG works.

    You could get 5 drops for your role in 5 raids, you'd be extremely lucky but it's possible!

    You could get 0 drops out of 20 raids... and that's happened to many people.

    When you go 2-3X what the average is supposed to be it gets quite frustrating. I sympathize with those who HATE it and while i am 100% sure they didn't take the time to simply screw us over with role based drops and what not, the fact that the RNG is allowed to screw us sucks. BUT devs listened and are giving us vendors as the main drops next DLC and just a small bonus for random drops... so basically, to me at least, the random drops won't even matter.

    Oh you know, I'm a lady, so I wasn't going to call you out on that. You could have said that T1 armor back then was a chicken suit and I'd go along with it.

    And yes! FNL was an amazing experience and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to harass you and Mepps! I cant wait for the new dlc because I'm itching to get back to DCUO. I'm just sitting on maxed reality with nothing to do. People cry because Paradox is hard...they CLEARLY have never run a dungeon in Guild Wars 2...
  17. RSL New Player

    if you mean, humans evolved to see patterns even if they don't exist, sure. your math there shows a good understanding of how randomness actually works though. we just don't like it because we feel like over time it SURELY must have a pattern rather than each and every roll being independent with respect to chance and probability. so right on.

    and i totally feel you on the RNG being a horrible way to distribute the highest level loot. i understand it but still do hate this is the current implementation. i can work hard and keep getting the same 88 cape instead of a new weapon or another piece of gear. [i've gotten this one cape 4 times from paradox]. there's little incentive to play [much less replay] this content because of this. were i working for marks and able to buy more gear [or progress further towards the gear, i should say] then i'd probably be super willing to part with some replay badges but right now i am just sitting on them ever increasing until the new dlc and the new progress-driven [vs random-driven] distribution.

    Exactly. The point isn't that those Conspiracy theories are right, the point is that it's bullcrap that the odds people see are so far off what the intended avg is.

    And while you've gotten the cape multiple times, one my my alts has that as his last peice of Traces he needs... :(
