Why did you make the Cyrodil gear RNG this patch? Why should every thing be random? If i am trying to build a set i would like to choose what i buy not have to buy 100 x boxes to get 1 set piece right. This will not increse the longevity of the game just create frustration.

    according to the Wrobler all this kind of rng bulls*** is exciting and players will like it... you don't really want to disagree with the Wrobler, do you?

    RNG is just cancer. I know many others who literally have just stopped playing this game because of RNG due to the fact that there is no clear goal. Everything is based off RNG. Getting what you want straight forward is more exciting than just getting it because the computer said so. It keeps you motivated and keep on going because you know what you are aiming for. When i got my first legit sharpned maelstrom maul yeah i got excited for a few minutes but do you think that made me want to keep trying to get my bow and a sword? nope. How do i know it wont be the next 20, 30, 40, 50 tries? it's just discouraging. Now the same fiasco is happening with this AP elite trader vendor. The only thing ZoS is doing is shying people away from experiencing the full content that they have to offer due to the RNG system. This game has so much content why do they rely on RNG? this game does not need it. Leave that to bare bone games like destiny.

    i never said i agree with the Wrobler, i don't. in mostly all possible situation i disagree with that guy.

    they should implement some sort of token system, change the rng, or directly sell the equipment (in case of AP)

    Lol you wasted that AP man you should just do what most people are doing wait until next update where you can buy RNG boxes with the sets you want that come in all armor weapons and jewelry and comes in purple.You would have saved up more AP and have a chance at what you actually wanted.

    We have been telling ZoS FOR YEARS to knock off all of this RNG crap and they REFUSE TO.

    I am sick of getting *** RNG and running dungeons over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over

    It will become much easier to complete your set after next update. Each town in Cyrodiil will have a different Elite gear vendor selling boxes with items from specific sets like Morag Tong, Ravager, etc.

    I think the reason boxes / RNG were incorporated is because there are simply too many sets now. The UI issue of scrolling through too much stuff.

    Remarkably with all this complaining you never buy this stuff from traders. The amount of ap I've dumped and picked up full sets of morag tong etc and then listed for 10k a purple ring and had it sent back to me as it didn't sell is unreal. I've got tons of this junk in my bank. Even got impen pieces too.

    Ohhh that's because their was nothing to use AP on so many players have saved up a lot of AP and so it will be easy for them to buy what the want.In so they won't allow you to buy what you want outright their using RNG bags to drain you of your AP.

    unfortunately ZO$ have stated that the current vendors are coded in such a way that there is a limit to how many items they can have for sale, there literally wouldn't be enough room on the current vendors, also unfortunately no response as to why they've haven't made new vendors that have enough room or added more :(

    short sightedness and bad coding go hand in hand at ZO$ :(

    I spent a million AP on medium offensive bags. And I'd say 70% of all my drops were the exact same items. Covenant's Rings and Covenant's Beads. Over and over and over. I wasted a million AP on the bags for a bunch of terrible rings with absolutely awful and completely useless set bonuses.

    And then they come out with the new-and-improved bags for town capture.

    The "Elite Vendor" is just an AP sink at this time. The drops are awful, the traits tend to be are awful and given they're coming out with the new versions it's just a waste. Save your AP for the new system.
