How "honest" do you feel the RNG in POE actually is?

tencentggg is slowly getting into activision-blizzard levels with RNG levels on their content people eventually will get sick of it it's only a matter of time.

I can wrap your head in tinfoil if you like, breathing hole optional.

"person has bad day and assumes big corporation is out to get them" <- just about every thread complaining about RNG ever.

I mean this is a pointless argument... the exact opposite is just as easily asserted and I would argue a lot more plausibly:

person doesn't want to believe GGG has thumb on the roulette wheel so automatically calls everything tin foil hat despite generous and very evident motivations and actual repeated history.

Blindly believing that GGG would do nothing intentionally wrong is naive but it is possible and its fine if you prefer to believe that. But don't trot out the tin foil hat unless your naive position is actually more plausible and MORE evidence based. The only evidence on this issue are two or three public times when GGG has admitted to RNG effecting bugs.

So considering that; The tin foil belongs on the head of people who are blindly discounting the possibility in the face of evidence.

Blindly believing that GGG can't ACCIDENTALLY do something wrong now thats another matter entirely. When we have open admission of false flagging from anti-botting code for example, and the Delve loot seed debacle for another example; ignoring multiple evidence is not simply naive its purposefully obtuse.

you dont need any rng in poe. just play more

Feels like RNG.

There is no rng. Tencent is manipulating the drops depending how much money you have spent in the game. Streamers and rich whales have the best drops. Simple as that. Ofcourse some poor ppl will see one exalt drop per league,is the carrot to the stick. But don't believe that everything is rng in this game. GGG was sold and now Chinese company is on the throne.

This is from people who legit have no idea how the investment pieces work

If anyone contributing to this thread had taken the time to actually do the statistics that they wasted on posting, we'd have a definitive answer by now.

that play time story is killng me

there is 3 lie in this game biggest one is

play more loot better

THATS BİGGEST LİE

you can farm " full league np with worst rng system also not working

someone can farm more than you in 1 week or 1 day

(tinfoil)

yes, on some leagues you can get flagged "no easy map sustain for this account" or "no easy links for this account"

and on other leagues you get the opposite

:D

(tinfoil off)

its not about how much currency/drops you found, its more about how you invest your currency to make more currency.

key question is also when?

its not a secret that those who are rich after a week play 30 hours straight after launch and then just control the market and invest into right things (buy cheap unique encounters for example)

I started playing this game about a month or so ago so I have not invested much money into it. I recently purchased some points for stash tabs and not even 20 minutes later I got my first exalt. I purchased more points for more stash tabs 2 days ago got another exalt, two 6 link drops, 3 ancient orbs and about 4 div cards worth 50-60c.

in most games i've purchased mtx in I always got better drops, I assumed it was the same on every game these days lol. It also could be a a huge coincidence as well. Who knows.

Only two things are infinite. The universe and people stupidity. Welp, Im not sure about first one.
