I'm not sure what I think. There are times that it seems my opponent is getting all the good cards but also times where it seems I am.

I'd love to know if every game is really random or if there are set games that load up in a random manner.

It's random. Luck of the draw is a pretty typical thing in all random card games, even physical ones.

Physical card games are completely random because they are shuffled in a different way each time. But a card game on a computer most likely has a finite set of possible card combinations programmed into the game.

Actually, I would think that whichever cards are in the deck (as determined by the patrons which were chosen and whether the player who chose a given patron had upgraded specific cards in that patron's "suit"), they would be shuffled according to some randomizing algorithm. Yes, there would be a finite (but very large) number of possible random orders, but it would be easier to randomize the cards' order through an algorithm than to just roll some random number and then use that result to go read the cards' order out of some predetermined array, with thousands or millions of arrays stored in memory or on disk to cover all of the possible sequences.

Randomness means some game will favor some players more. Because you get sixes ten times in a row while throwing dice doesn’t mean that they are unbalanced and that the result isn’t random. I don’t see how or why the game would be intentionally skewed toward some players.

I have never won any games against NPC's so it seems unbalanced to me. Never played another player and never will.

I never really pay attention to who I play against since doesn't matter to me, I have whispers in a different tab or turned off almost always so its just random to me since don't care,

Edit: I ply sea elf only so kinda don't pay attention to cards. since its gonna be nerfed having fun with it

The poll was to see what others thought about the issue, since it's been brought up in other threads. The option someone chooses is just their opinion on the topic, which is what I was curious about.
