I either cease performing the actions that make me angry, or quit the game entirely. Well, unless the game is REALLY good otherwise and I am absolutely forced to endure that which makes me angry in order to enjoy the rest. An example would be D2's hostility system, before I joined the Amazon Basin.
So, basically, my solution to the "I have to be angry for 20 hours to obtain a gull dagger" problem is to play the game in some other manner, and find something else of value. Sure, I don't have any Gull daggers, but I do have an Ali-Baba and a Silence Phase Blade, both of which I prefer to a Gull anyway.
