disclosure of the loot system

[Rydell]

Obvious utter hogwash

Exactly what I was looking for thank you

No lol, Kaasovic already gave you what you were looking for.  The only part he got wrong was that each player is assigned a random number when they join the server and that is the order the server rolls for loot in.  This means that technically your chance of looting is reduced a tiiiiny amount for each player that joins and happens to get a lower number than you.

For anyone that was fooled by this, please take a moment to reflect on this amalgamation of several of the silly, nonsensical rumors that have floated around this community.  Pointlessly convoluted, of course it is a straight up RNG system.

Alright, I suppose it is time you all finally get disclosure.

Thanks

Okay, but are you looking forward to improve the system or you want it to be left the same as it is right now?

Games nowadays tend to stray away from full RNG and opt for pseudoRNG for balance purposes. To name an example - DotA 2:
In 2015 there was a lot memes happening with its RNG - heroes that have 13% chance for stun with each hit, sometimes would stun 8 times in a row. Was it fair for the other player that he was permastunned and couldn't perform any actions, because of pure luck of the enemy?
Award winning short clip, had a meme, where rng gives one player huge advantage - stunning (link) and also evading attacks - 15% chance (link). Situations like this aren't taken nicely, especially in competetive games. Due to situations like this, RNG was changed to pseudoRNG, simply because of balance. 

Ofcourse NI isn't a competetive game, and randomness doesn't take place with skills like in DotA 2, but it is still takes place in important aspect of gameplay - items, legendaries give advantage to the player, and due to RNG not everyone is blessed with them, no matter how good they are.
