I really prefer systems that set a clear goal and task for me to accomplish. Like “you can get this card if you complete x and y by z time” for example, RNG is really just a lottery that creates an addiction, which obviously I see a problem with.
Do you enjoy RNG events?

it feels weird to think that you’d have to have the tendencies of an addicted gambler to truly enjoy RNG events :
Obviously most of us just gonna say we dont like it because we just want everything cus we are selfish bitches 
What kind of game would it be if we got everything we wanted whenever we wanted? It’d be reminicient of a Pay to Win, an in-game cosplay party, or a dream (so wake up)

My choice is solely based on my opinion of the necessity of these events.
It is just not what this game needs. it needs content and depth and no obsidian cards or eye replacements will bring any of that.

If you got to pick your own card, people will still pick the same cards so it’s almost the same as giving everyone the same card.
But imo that is EXACTLY where the problem lies. People wouldn’t be upset about RNG if the cards were balanced and all of them were playable. Everyone wants the same 2 or 3 cards for almost every merc.
When gen 2 came out, they said they wanted people to have adventurous reactions when getting a card they weren’t going for.
But how can you have an adventurous reaction when getting that ?
Or that ?
These are just 2 random examples from the “Show off your event skins” thread. There are dozens of those. If they managed to make cards balanced, the RNG problem wouldn’t be nearly as bad as it is now.

Gen 3 cards should fix that (hopefully)

Gen 2 is not that old and while it is much better than gen 1, it still has some terrible loadouts. Add to that personal preference and there will always be better and worse loadouts.
