What do you do? Keep taking random chances that have no connection to any previous chance, until you get what you want. Even if you raid and accrue DKP outside the game, inside the game you still need a random chance for the item you want to drop. That's how the game we all love works: no points that improve your odds when you take lots of random chances, just equally random chances until you "win".

Physical engagement leads to greater odds. Nothing influences /random (that i am aware of). The mob is on a fixed timer, and you must compete with dozens of players with no way to increase your odds. I dont really know why there would need to be an argument of saying we need to keep it that way to preserve an everquest experience, and why it needs to be more unpleasant than necessary. People that make more rolls or can get some kind of camping currency like the urn system makes perfect sense and i dont know why resisting the idea of putting more time in results in greater odds could possibly be a bad thing. | |||

Hell, even Scout roll has a lot more than five people at it, and it's not (effectively) Luclin-era loot like the SWC (ie. better than 99.9% of the Velious era stuff). Look, for most players the random roll truly has nothing to do with them not getting an SWC! If SWC was a drop, the camp would locked down 24/7, and 95+% of the people who are now rolling for it would have virtually no chance of ever seeing it. And if it was /list (1.0), it would look like the list for Holgresh Elder Beads or the Manastone (ie. forget about sleeping for four days). Quote:
If only the game already had such a point system built-in. A system where you could go do other camps that other people want, and in return they would do the random rolls you don't want to do. Only it's a little tricky to find just one item that someone would trade for doing all those random rolls ... maybe you could acquire a bunch of items, and then trade them to other player for points, and then collect enough points to trade them to a single player for an SWC? If only EQ had such a system already ...
