The NPC Expert player has beaten me several times.

A so called software developer needs me to explain an algorithm.

People have already explained it to you:

My own theory: The more you complain, the worse your overall attitude is, which affects the decisions you make while playing Tales of Tribute and other portions of of ESO.

I experience the same thing when trying to clear certain challenging PvE content, both in ESO and in other games. The worse my attitude becomes for whatever reason, the more blunders I make-- which feeds back into my sour attitude, leading to even more blunders on my part.

You don't need to fight some “hidden algorithm” by constantly changing decks, switching accounts or whatever, that will only hurt your consistency. I play basically one midrange style (Eagle/Crows/Loremaster) which I think is less affected by luck than more “explosive” decks (like Rajhin, Druid or Mora). Find a style that you like the most, learn the “tech” picks for it and stick with it — that's the algorithm.

Or just take a break, there's nothing wrong with that. I had several months when I was so disgusted with ToT that I haven't touched it. I'm slowly getting back into it, but I still have to do every trick in the book to make it tolerable.

When you can explain to me why I can switch to my wife's account and play the EXACT same player who suddenly makes the single dumbest moves after whipping the floor with me on my account then lets talk MR I AM A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER!
I have yet to see any valid explanation for it!

I have also tried your so called method of sticking with exactly two decks constantly.

Ive reached a point where I see the system handing the other player the cards to win so I basically hit the hour glass and say *** it.
That way I can re Q without a 10 minute penalty or having to switch toons.

You should basically never be struggling against the NPCs. This is a bad sign.

Expert NPC Reynelle Gaersley (in Shimmerene on Oct 29) was atrocious. Hadn't seen them before, or not since I've started logging my games a while back. I do the NPC daily on a daily basis . At some point I wondered if the NPC had cards just materializing out of thin air into their hand, but I don't keep track of cards. I have 100% win-rates against eNPCs; with this one I won 3 games out of 11. (Ten of those games had Orgnum, not one of my faves but the NPC was happily spamming it. Maybe there was some arithmetic error with Orgnum's power, but, much to my regret, not tracking cards also means not tracking that. However, it seems highly unlikely that the math would apply differently for only one character. Or maybe I was out of it for some reason and not realizing that I played poorly -- also rather implausible even with my alexithymia. Looking forward to running into this NPC again.)
