RNG- Good or Bad?

In my experience in dealing with many mmorpg, rng has always been a key factor into keeping us players busy into grinding for loot or trying loot boxes on the premises of "chance" , to boost our egotistic agenda in accruing the items we so desire but don't really need. I cannot fathom the idea within this game, that some account bound drop loot are way better than others in a sense of luck.

I've been farming rampage for 5 days straight, burning away time and keys at 8 hrs a day, 5 days into my first month membership on the fire account doing almost 20 runs per day and counting. My friend just made a fire and 7 runs it have gotten the spell. I have many people who tag a long with me and gotten the spell xD . My gosh is it so that my luck on that said account is extremely low that I have to do nearly 200 runs? Is the perception of RNG more like you get it when you get it no one cares about your time and struggle? Phew, i can't imagine the amount of players going through this moment.

Ill keep trying knowing that am aware of the antagonizing effort required, its just starting to feel less and less rewarding.

Grinding is undoubtedly one of the most terrible aspects of video games. Games are supposed to be fun but grinding is the exact opposite of that. People play games to take a break from work.

333 runs in solo after the last few. On the last key before passing out attempted one last try, key shifted between life and fire once and got ramp on the third run. It was a long battle but finally got it. GG

Totally agree with this. Its ok to put in the time when farming unique items, but when that time requires almost the entirety of your daily schedule that's when things become chaotic.
