This method still takes a lot of time. Just less than hoping a piece randomly drops.
Good. Fixing this fucked up implementation should be the end goal. If it exists, that it still exists should probably point to it not being a simple fix.
IF it is how it works, it's more than a hotfix to get rid of it. There would be an underlying system of how the game determines potential legendary/set drops. IF that is the case, it stands to reason there may have been a software/hardware related reason for it (although honestly that seems less likely than just some designer being an idiot), which would require work to overhaul. The quick 'fix' would be to make gambling give items of the current games' level I guess, but all that would do is make everyone think TealDawn is right and 'fix' the wrong part of the problem.
It wouldn't be a simple fix for sure. Until I see other people mimicking it then I'm calling shenanigans. I must live in some dream world where I'd hope that Blizzard didn't use freshmen university students to code key infrastructure components of their game. I've seen the money thing and heard about ties to the clock before. I mean this is stuff you learn right away. When I learned about seeding rand() with time, we were told how easily breakable that was - right off the bat.
There are people right now using his method and gambling multiple of the items they got to drop in their games. Some dude just gambled three mirrorballs after he got 1 to drop in a level 34 game. Same for lute socks, some guy just got 2 gambling in a level 11 game after it dropped for him in a rift. Still far from being proven, but there's seomthing that doesn't sit right with all this: It would be the ultimate Anti botting code. It would guarantee (assuming you have no idea it's in place of course) that you only get the same legendaries over and over and over when botting in a long uninterupted game.
Since when do bots sit in the same game over and over? The whole point of a bot is that it kills something, remakes the game, and kills again over and over. Each game, if it works like this, effectively giving a different loot table.
Same I have 9 MB's, 7 Mykens, & maybe 20 Chantodos from gambling for Triumvirates and have yet to get a Trium? I must have cracked the MB code secretly.
Since bots have evolved to do rifts on their own. Better leg per hour than chain killing bosses, but probably less gold/XP.
