Thanks anonymous GGG man! /s I've noticed this too, and you're right, that's the only logical explanation. That or shape shifting illuminati lizardmen. Pathetic, even tho none of this could be true, you two characters are acting as if even the thought that this is possible is not even in the realm of possibility. LIke true blind defenders. You know there are only about 7 to 10 of you that do this, you post in every single thread, to the point of nausea. Let me tell you, you are not fooling anyone, the more I read and see the same people in every single thread posting the same crap like robots, the smaller and smaller these forums seem. Its like no one even posts here. The 10 of you will not run these forums and beat everyone down to think as the borg collective. I will make sure of that. GGG may not be tweaking drop rates, but the fact they can on the fly makes rng to me not true rng.	Posted by IceM#0840 on Nov 6, 2013, 11:02:22 PM Quote this Post

I talk about shape shifting illuminati lizardmen altering my drop rates, and you think I'm being serious? What planet are you on? Or did you just call me pathetic without actually reading what I wrote? Edit: Sorry, looks like I'm the one who didn't read what you wrote. No, I'm not a blind fanboy, I make more than my fair share of noise when I'm not happy about things. If you think otherwise, then you're making a statement without having read many of my posts. However in this instance, the detractors are being idiots.

I rarely comment in General, but felt the need to laugh at all this conspiracy theory going on today. Perhaps the paranoia is getting to you?

Soon Chris's statement will be quoted out of context in a million different conspiracy threads. Should be able to get some laughs. Poor GGG why do you think people would react rationally to any statement involving drop rates.	Posted by zachatta#6556 on Nov 6, 2013, 11:32:42 PM Quote this Post

One could go as far as to explain that a true RNG design is impossible to start with and completely negates the justification of the concern most recently expressed by IceM. Next we will discuss the computer's ability to draw a perfect circle. ...narf	Posted by SqueakyToyOfTerror#0940 on Nov 6, 2013, 11:36:12 PM Quote this Post

That's simple ongoing maintenance of the game, and it's a no brainer, it makes total sense for them to implement. Imo their only mistake was publicly stating it.
