RNG to get a drop, RNG to enchant said drop, RNG hoping for crystals, RNG hoping for fodder to even try the RNG enchant pyramid.

Does not make for a fun, compelling or lasting game experience.

every game on the market has some type of RNG.... Sorry to bust the bubble.

TERA RNG is no where near as bad as other F2P and P2P games RNG

Really? no where near as bad as other P2P games? Name me a few that are not direct ports of Korean MMOs by NCsoft of the like. There's nothing wrong with RNG...but when there is so much RNG and it all acts as a gating mechanism to other content then there is something HORRIBLY wrong.

EME dropped the ball on their method of "westernizing" the game, by removing things that didnt need to be taken out, and then leaving in parts of a system that are horribly broken. Sure we dont loose levels from failed enchants anymore, but when you go 30+ attempts in a row trying to enchant something and suddenly go broke over it, there is something very VERY wrong.

You know, guys, the fact that other games from other companies have a worse RNG on it does not mean in any way that TERA's RNG is good. It just means it's less [filtered].

You must have missed the part where I said not to bother listing direct korean ports via NCsoft. And like Pere said above, just because there is worse...doesn't mean what TERA has is good in the least.

Didn't they remove RNG off something (enchanting to +6 and digressing? someone refresh my memory) and there were all these posts on the forums crying how acquiring gear would be too easy? There will be RNG simply because there are enough players who want RNG to be present. Sorry to break it OP, but enough people find thrill into showing off how lucky they got to get their shines, sell extra shines for more than a house's worth on the virtual market, and such and etc. Even if they made it to where it's very time consuming to get everything even without RNG, it's still more of a matter of when than an if+when. Very few MMOs, albeit existent, filter out the RNG system, it's just that popular (for whatever reason).

That doesn't make for a good game...that makes for a good casino.

The RNG isn't inherently bad. The problem is it's implemented badly. Diablo has a good implementation because it's basically a casino, as Thelordymir says.

Why is Diablo's RNG better than TERA's? Because in Diablo it's not painfully frustrating to actually get an upgrade to your equipment. It's a very different to have a 0.0001% chance to upgrade your tier 13 armor to be 10% better than your old tier 11 quest armor, than to have that same chance to get a Legendary item that is probably twice times better than what you had before.

It's a matter of gratification.
