Seen that pic you're referring to, definitely not sweat pants. You have OCD or something?

Don't bother, he is not interested in right or wrong.

He is interested in harping on the same violin for two years and counting, patting himself on the back for ingenuity.

It's fun.

Peace,

Can you post the pic again beem, pretty plz

E: You either harp on about something or you play the world's smallest violin, you cannot harp a violin. Trying to sound clever by mixing up sayings is pretty funny

To answer your question, I'm only blind if I take my glasses off. Maybe you should be checked though. :P

After repeatedly seeing the comments TheWretch makes about your pants I was curious to see for myself. Just google "boem path of exile" and click images. hehe

OT: I ♥ RNG good or bad. :)

RNG is bad when you need to trow 10 dice D20 and every dice need to get you 20 to give good loot.

I think it is a player perception problem.

When you first start playing the game most of the things you find are better and as you keep playing the upgrades come fewer and further between until you reach the point that you are farming for days, weeks and not getting upgrades.

You weren't rolling D20's all along but as you approach the point that the only way to upgrade is by getting those closer to perfect items you notice every time that you don't. The only thing that has changed in the RNG equation is where you are on the power curve.

Either way you don't need perfectly rolled gear, you just need to cap your resists and have decent enough rolls on the rest along with a good passive tree build. This is where trading comes in to take the RNG out of the equation. You sell off the less than perfect items you do find and save up and buy the item you will likely never find.

The problem isn't randomness, it's variety, or lack thereof.

Let's say you get to flip a coin, heads you get $20, tails you get $1. That's boring RNG, you're getting the same type of thing either way, only the quantity changes.

Now let's say you get to flip a coin, heads you get a coupon for a free meal (up to $10) at Taco Bell, tails a free meal (again, up to $10) at Subway. That's interesting RNG, because even though the quantity of reward is roughly the same both ways, the type is different, so different people with different tastes would have different opinions on which result constitutes a win.

You can easily spot which RNG is PoE feels the most bullshit using this simple principle; it is the instances with the least variable types and the most variable quantity which draw the most QQ.
