Quote:What is the solution to a bunch of folks whining in a WoW forum thread that the random number generator isn't random (because some guilds get multiple glaives and some get none...sigh)?
Why, quote Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead and don't tell the people you are answering that this is what you are doing as they try to puzzle out your reply, of course!

Well done!
The pattern recognition part of our brain is much stronger than the skeptical part. The idea that the PRNG can be gamed in WoW (or any game) is so tempting, and yet...
... so wrong.
