General Discussion - My Thoughts about RNG Manipulation. - Forum

Hey, while were on this subject, I live in New Zealand and the drop rates suck, is there some way that GGG can fix it so that New Zealanders get all the drops that should be gotten by Australian ? no one will ever know, it is not immoral they tried to steal Phar Lap after all, it woud be like revenge, please please consider doing this.

Like several race teams getting the items they want/need and see who uses em better, forcing dsyncing in certain situations .. etc.Im pretty aware of the issues on the game, and so i am about ppl complaining about dsync and stuff like that... and this post is far enough from those kind of whines.Its inevitable... in the end its a game where you can actually create any item/currency/random effect and give it to the player you want, whenever you want.. but, and only if, you intend to create a real competitive environment those kind of things should be completely banned, pursued and punished.I know, PoE is like a little big family and I'm pretty sure more than you´d want to admit has been , or is actively involved in this kind of behaviours. In the end I dont give a shit, you'll prolly say this have never happened blablabla ...period.It is a common conversation through active players tho, the "incredible RnG" some famous streamers happen to have constantly, and ill be honest, i dont care if this or that gets richer in normal leagues or if the magical conception of a unique through a chance occurs in the exact time of max audience... sincerely, not my business...But competition is, and ive been doing so since i was really young, and honestly, something stinks, even when it favours me in a race, it does, stop it. thanks.This is a huge game, and it will grow. Keep the competition real.GL & HF. nice	Posted by jaybray38#1404 on Jan 13, 2014, 3:29:21 AM Quote this Post

I have the feeling you might want to check on "randomness", probability, concepts of distribution and sample sizes. :-) Basic... I have the feeling that the chances of 2 different individuals asking for 2 different low drop rate items and getting them shortly after is atleast as ridiculously low as ridiculous is your blind assumption that I lack some kind of statistics knowledge. Instead trying to degrade and make fun of me when its you who is blatantly overlooking the facts i exposed. Read the post, please, all of them, Im trying to be as objective as I can, im not against PoE or have any problem with drops or dsync issues or nothing, just saying that there's something that doesnt really fit at all . Yes i know the post would be polemic. Keep it up, mb they see it and in the worst case scenario, doublecheck their security. Thats all im asking for.

the coincidences are eerie, in the story posted about uniques dropping right after posting to buy etc. OP, just friendly advise: You really should not play any game for dozen+ hours a day every day. Sure, they are addictive, immersive and whatnot - but it is 100% guaranteed to wreck your life badly sooner or later. Dial down to some hours a day - or not even every day. I know it is easier said than done, but the younger you are, the more permanent damage unhealthy gaming addiction does to your life (studies whatnot).

Yeah, the 16+ hours a day was a red flag. Seriously though, random is random, coincidences happen. Take off the tinfoil hat and take a nap.	Posted by Bukariin#7997 on Jan 13, 2014, 3:51:14 AM Quote this Post

" MildlyClever wrote: the coincidences are eerie, in the story posted about uniques dropping right after posting to buy etc. Just makes me think of http://xkcd.com/882/. With enough game time spent, coincidences are going to happen. Who doesn't have a weird coincidence story about PoE, or D3 (for those who played it)? ... and how convoluted a drop system would have to be in place for some of these "controlled drops" schemes to be real?

" I_NO wrote: So uh is he confirmed to be a heretic or what? No. He's been playing 16 hours a day for a year and in that time there have been at least a handful of notably coincidental loot drops, therefor shape shifting illuminati reptilian conspiracy is proven once and for all.
