Still couldn't be as random as asking an idiot

I'm merely stating how computers produce a series of random numbers. Out of curiousity, where did I state that software generators can produce the so-called true random numbers?

Also, the term, true randomness various from person to person. As far as I'm concerned, the software generator is enough for me. Perhaps it's not enough to meet your expectation of randomness, but do you really expect Anet to change loot-scaling just because a couple people here do not approve the standard of randomness they are using?

Lastly, like ensoriki said, if you really want the true randomness, go ask an idiot.

Vaettir hardmode. NOT super weak. You can either kill 36 with Tenai's Crystals, or you can sliver them to death. Very big difference in drops, especially my precious glacial stones.
