This is why RNG is so bad for majority of players (especially casuals).
" You're preaching to the choir here. I play SSF and don't complain about bad RNG. Obviously, my fix wasn't a fleshed out idea. You could tie it to a time played on the character. Say 30 min a day, makes 3.5 hours a week. If after that nothing dropped, let there be a drop. One could go even further and apply this only once a char has completed the Acts. However, it wouldn't really do anything much, since people playing more will get more, on average. Bird lover of Wraeclast

two situations:
1) you may have exalteds drop in 100 hours of playtime. 2) you got a exalted after you played 100 hours. what's the advantage of the casual player in scenario 2 if he only plays 99 hours? and how is a determined outcome where you just pump hours into the game contributing to the fun and not making playing the game feel like work? age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

You have seven challenges completed. You play this game less than that Charan guy who spends 90% of his life on the forums. You found an exalt and a tabula within your 5 hours of playtime. That's pretty generous.

" Exactly. Those kinds of solutions don't address the reason for the complaints: "I see someone with a shiny that I don't have, therefore I want the shiny." The problem isn't the shiny itself, it's the IDEA of the shiny, and that another person has it. Handing out more shinies doesn't make anyone happy, just bored until they find new shinies to covet. This is why there are new achievements, rewards and uniques in every League. In some games, casual players can counter the advantages of dedicated players by purchasing buffs. Time is money, and if you don't want to spend one then you can spend the other. Pay for an increase in drop quantity/quality to get in an hour what other players get in six. Or buy gear and upgrades directly for cash. But since this game doesn't offer those options all a casual player can do is hope for a string of good luck, spend every spare moment playing the game, or accept that you won't be able to fully min/max your characters in the limited time you have to spend. | |

No... that's not ALL a casual player can do. A casual player can enjoy playing the game with the items he finds.

See the good side of bad,
and the downside up, and everything between. You have to remember to chase and catch your dreams, because if you don't, your imagination will live in empty spaces, and that's nowhere land.

" I'd say that was implied by the last statement, accept you can't min/max your character and do 15 mil DPS, but fair enough. It's how I approach the game, working within my limitations and using what I can find, craft or afford to trade for. | |
" It doesn't sound crazy, only if you have no clue about biology and evolution you wouldn't comprehend such a simple fact. Our body activates reward systems to make us get a specific goal. After you get the goal all of those systems shut down. The people designing games know perfectly well how our dopamine regulation system works. PoE is designed like a casino, it inflates dopamine release to a peak. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

RNG isn't bad, it's deliberately scarce to make you want it. What do you want in life? Usually what you do not have. The same goes for PoE. If the need for more or something goes away, you go away. They don't want that.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
