How about less randomization of items, or at least gifts?

[Zanthlion]

Now, maybe it's only me, but I've just about had it with not getting the things you really need. I have a 166 man army and that's alot bigger than some people and I don't have all of them sending me gifts, so it's really annoying when a new set comes out and I get 1/4 of them to send me gifts and I end up with ONE of the item...Like the new limited edition Strider thing...I've received something like 20 of those...I now have ONE dagger, 3 of the same part of the amethyst, 2 or 3 of the same part of the dagger and like 7 hourglasses. I'm completely missing the other amethyst and dagger part. And what about the monsters? It took me almost a week and about 6 lvls, spending all my energy trying to get THREE swords of the faithless...and lets not mention how many times people have killed the Hydra or Keira trying to get all those parts...I myself have about 10 Keria kills (at least that show up) and about 15-20 hydras and i STILL need parts to make my FIRST Hydra...not my 3rd or 4th, my FIRST....it's VERY annoying....

reduce the RNG and RNE ?

you just have a string of bad luck, deal with it.

1st, RNE and RNG? Whatre those? On that note, what's this BSI and LSI (i think that's what they were?) I've seen people talk about...
2nd, it's NOT just me...I saw someone in another post or maybe it was in their profile, had written a poem about the many, many times they've fought Keira (i think it was her) and had yet to receive the stuff they needed.
And don't get me wrong...I'm not saying "Hey, if you do 5 dmg, you should get ALL the parts to EVERY drop/alchemy/whatever!" but it would be nice if they could implement something that increased the chances of getting an item you don't have....something that could look at your items and go "Oh wait, he has 0 of these, 3 of these and 5 of the 3rd? Well then, how about this time, his chances of getting the 1st item will be 15% instead of the usual 5%"...or something...just making suggestions...like the page is called, lol

sorry, it's supposed to be REG - Random event generator

RNG - random number generator

seriously, while you read the posts regarding bad drops, there are also stories of good or best drops. would you be suggesting this if you have good drops ?

there's nothing wrong with system since it's random to all. some are lucky, some are not.

[Zanthlion]

Still don't know what BSI and LSI (or whatever) is...
As for the good drops....I'd be willing to put REAL money on the line to say that the guy who managed to get Keira's soul on the first try(something which I haven't seen, but I'm sure it's happened) prob has never had luck like that again. So yes, even if I had been very lucky to get something, I'd still be suggesting this because being lucky once or twice or even 10 times does NOT mean you're always going to be lucky.
Besides, I think my "raised chances on what you don't have" system is a decent idea. :)
