That one had me on the verge of tears when I heard it spoken in-game. xD

I don't mean to sound vain or know-it-all, but the problem isn't completely on my end. I've failed every time, true, but I know how it goes. I know exactly what must be done when and where... the problem is my teammates are either too stupid or are just ignorant and don't pay attention to directions when given. This is one of those tasks where pretty much everyone has to be on the same page. I've had teams where most people knew what they were doing, but those select few oddballs ruin the whole thing by not throwing the grenades or what-not.

That's why I'm asking for a team of experienced people, because the majority of people I've teamed with have either never done it or just aren't paying attention.

Then perhaps you'd care to tell me what those are? You can't just say "It's not random!!!!1@2!" and expect me to believe you. Because I already gave you developer quotes which say the system is random.

Let me put it to you this way. You and your friends are on a gameshow. You and your friends have to go through an obstacle course, and afterwards you get to spin a wheel to decide your prize. But, you can only get the opportunity of spinning the prize wheel if your team does well on the obstacle course. If you stand around and don't help your team, or if your team fails remarkably, then you won't get to spin the wheel for a prize. Does it make sense now?

If you actually took the time to read Baryonyx's and my own posts, you realize what the qualifiers are actually qualifying you for. But here, I'll explain again.

You are qualifying for a chance at the random roll. You are not qualifying for a guaranteed very rare, you are qualifying for a shot at the rewards table. After you have qualified, it all thrown to the random generator and your reward is determined by that.

From Baryonyx:

If anything, that scenario only further proves the evidence of a truly random system. Only two people, they both had to be at "max participation" yet they still got the uncommon.

Notice that he says it will increase your opportunity, not your chances of getting a very rare. If your whole league does well, then everybody gets the participation rewards and everyone gets the opportunity to receive a very rare reward. Success doesn't generate a guaranteed result, it simply helps qualify players for the random roll.

It's very unreasonable considering that fact that it totally random and there's no sure-fire way to get a Very Rare.

Of course people want the good stuff. Do I want a very rare? Of course I do! have I gotten one yet? No. But that's not the point of my post.

I'm sick of people complaining about it all day. People keep posting things like I mentioned, "I've done a bazillion trials and only got uncommons! This is unfair!"

It's one thing to want something. It's another thing entirely to whine about it consistently when you don't get it, then to ask how you get it, even though the methods have been described numerous times.

Participation =/= guaranteed rare. It is only a qualifier for the reward tables. All it does is add the tables to the random number generator.

If you have received the component reward table, you have already qualified for every reward table. So unless you did nothing at all but stood around picking your nose all day, you have qualified for a Very Rare roll. Once again, the reward table is chosen at, you guessed it, random!

Notice the part in bold. All that is required for participation is doing something. Anything! You don't need massive AoE's, you don't need to do the most healing, you don't need XXX amount of defeats, just play regularly and you will earn your participation rewards. Did I mention that the reward tables are random?

If you win, you get a shot at Very Rare. Very simple. Once again, this is not based on anything like damage output or number of defeats. Success is what ultimately determines your qualification for the reward tab-- oh, sorry, I meant the random reward tables.

Once again, just by playing regularly and doing something other than door-sitting like a leech, you have already qualified for the all the reward tables.

Oh look at that! All the stuff that I just said does not affect your participation score. Whatever determines your participation score, the devs are quite obviously not going to tell us. Quit asking how to get the tables dangit! We don't know! First off, they won't tell us; and second, they've already said that just by doing something and winning you have met the requirements for the reward tables!! It's completely, totally, irrevocably, random!

Again, notice the bold text. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you are doing anything at all to help your league.

In closing, please, please, please! STOP asking how to get a Very Rare reward. Stop complaining about how you've done XX amount of trials and didn't get anything. We don't care that you've only gotten 50,000 uncommons. The devs already told us how it works. The post is linked at the top. In case you didn't notice, here, I'll link it again for you. (<---- Click here for link!)

Closing comments: Random number generator is random! Stop complaining and play the game. It's not the end of the world if you do not get your Tier 4 ability.

P.S. The word random has been used twenty times in this post.

Because F2P always brings the same things, particularly bad players, even if it's severely restricted. The buying content part isn't part of the suggestion, but regardless, even a restricted F2P model brings bad things with it on a game like this.

This is my main gripe with F2P models. There's practically no incentive whatsoever to remain a decent member of society. It's totally free, I can just make another account, so I think I'll just run around and act like a jerk to everybody I see!

No thanks. We are fine as-is. $15 a month is hardly expensive for a game like this.

But then it's just a purely cosmetic thing. Yay, I have four arms! But the other two don't do anything... oh but look how cool they are!! Wings and tails are just costume pieces. All they had to do was animate the flapping for the wings and the swinging on the tails.

If they were going to add four arms, or tentacles, or whatever, I would rather they do something than be just for show.

All that does is cut the work time by maybe 1/5th. Costumes would probably be the easiest to do on a new skeleton. You still have to re-animate every power that ever existed.

And what's the point of having a new skeleton if I can only use a bare-minimum of costume parts for it? VEAT's get access to the whole costume creator at level 10.

See the hundreds of threads on animal MM sets for why this cannot happen.

Why not just take energy or fire blast and color it white? Luminous mages of the Legacy Chain already do this.
