    Hes talking about the new RNG system that they are implementing in the upcoming expansion; they are reverting class-based enhanced drop rates (so any class will be receiving any trait/weight/items) and also implementing the Need/Greed system.

    Oh sorry, what I meant by RNG was repetitive nature grinding.


    I'm specifically talking about jewelry craft leveling.


    What did u think I was talking about? Arbitrary reward outcomes?

    I wouldn't mind RNG sets if they were actually good. Sload set looks decent, you can throw the rest into the garbage bin.

    I personally hate the Need/Greed system.

    In other MMOs, you would have to grind a specific dungeon to have a 0,3% chance for the right weapon to drop for your class. Then someone of a different class, who cannot use the weapon at all, NEED the weapon and get it. After you've ran the dungeon 100+ times for that weapon.

    Zeni needs to be really careful concerning the need as it could break the community and cause a lot of negativity.

    @Smaxx which part? The possible need and greed in the game or the idiot needing on the wrong item?

    There are no need/greed rolls in ESO since everyone gets their own loot. Whether players want to trade is something different, but in either case there aren't any changes in those regards coming with Update 18.

    Good luck with activity finder in need greed scenarios.

    Not only are you expected to carry players, theyll now be able to greed you outvof gear you may want and they dont need.

    Certainly hoping that remains the case. Getting your own loot in MMO's is actually a pretty good idea, and you can then trade around any loot you may or may not need.

    A need/Greed system kinda ruins that, making it so that only one person out of several people can get a piece of loot.

    I don't understand why ESO would require a need/greed system if everyone had instanced drops.

    It's needed in other games because one item drops for multiple players, here we all get our own shots at items and unless that ever changes (which would be a horrible step backwards) a need/greed system would just be stealing loot from others.

    In FF14, which has a need/greed system you cannot need an item for a class you’re not on, only greed it. I assume that’s true for most other games that use that system.

    I hope they do not go with the need/greed in dungeons, it’s what killed world of Warcraft. The community in world of Warcraft used to be nice and peaceful which in those times are called the vanilla ages, now WOW is in complete utter failure as a mmo game that they created a different game to screw up. Please ZOS, don’t become what world of Warcraft has turned into.

    Dear god people is @Smaxx the only person who caught the joke?

    The OP just found another use for the acronym RNG that had nothing to do with the “Random Number Generation” you all know and love in ESO.

    There is no need/greed being implemented.

    I even missed that line. Never heard the abbreviation used for that to be honest. :D

    If they ever implement a need/greed system for gear drops I will quit running group content. Period.

    The only way I would allow something like this is..... nope I wouldn't. I hate it in other games and if I lose my guaranteed item, for a chance to roll on it...... goodbye for good ESO.
