Especially the drill sargent and the evil twin sister.

Yes, I know, they said they were working on it.... But what does it take!!!?! Just stub out some code!

Gods, I hate randoms.

Hang on, I think they're going to release a random that can actually stop thing while removing alot of others. It takes time to design a decent random.

I know. ... Obviously, I'm frustrated.

I just don't see the harm in removing the more annoying ones from the list while they work on the new code. Especially with the other steps they've taken to address autoers (and real-world trading) and the fact that they say that the randoms aren't too effective any more.

They really should have done this by now.

(Ranting helps! I'm beginning to feel better.

The Evil Twin random has to go or at least be changed. It's impossible to do if you have lag.

Agreed! and what of physically disabled players, of which I am sure there are many. I can see where they wouldn't be able to get past that one ever. Inexcusible!

Yeah, I'm still forced to run on dial up because I live in a rural area and it is bad.

Warning:

Getting rid of randoms = spike in gem prices. Rings of duelling and games necklaces will go to over 1k a pop...

I don't really mind them... I say get rid of the ones that don't give gems (mystery box, camouflage, lederhosen, etc)

Not a warning to me. Remember, every transaction is a zero-sum game. For every buyer who suffers at a higher price, there's a seller who benefits. There's probably a whole passle of young crafters who would love to see some jewelry prices go up.

depends on what you mean by physically disabled... you mean, a little "slow"? or what?

As much as I'd love that random to be removed, cause I've had difficulty in laggy times too, what you've done there is just look for what could be a reason to remove it rather than there actually being one.

Yes, I'd love loads of these stupid "holiday event"-style randoms to be removed. Keep the old ones like the tree spirit and the such for fun during monotonous woodcutting or fishing but other than those, they should all go. ^_^

yeh randoms are pain in the *** especialy then u tele or bury bone they always show up... also then close by lvl, got like 5 rondoms till i lvled me fishing lvl i was like 1k of and each time i started to fish random showed up

Well gem giving ones should stay but some like drill demon should get the hell out of the game! Also then u colect set in randoms like mime they shouldnt apear until u lose set piece coz its prety stupid to do random wich stuff u already unlocked

I agree, once had some bad lag and it took me over 15 mins to do it. And my reward? 2 uncut sapphires lol.
The only random that gives a decent reward is the maze (I can complete it 75%)

I like the ones that give emotes and xp, also the ones that give outfits, but it gets annoying when you already have full mime and get pulled away for 500 gp...

Yeah me to, but it seems like some days I have no randoms at all, then other i will have LOADS of them

yeah I also think they need to balance out the system on randoms. I've noticed the same problem as you.
