Pretty sure he is actually wrong. He's mistaking streaks in true randomness for poor simulated randomness.
Do you really find the likelihood of maplestory just being so truly random more likely than just being poorly randomized?
Not to mention venne is exaggerating the functionality people are suggesting that this has or could have to inflate his own argument?
TBH i'm fairly certain maple employs either two many RNGs or only one. The too many theory comes from the thought that some of them are poorly suited for the task at hand or sloppy. The only one theory comes from the possibility that it's just the same one altered by varying levels of compression and creating these notable trends, or causing them to be noticeably off in sections due to clumping.
While yes, people tend to see in patterns. Some patterns are also there. This is maplestory, not pi after all.
I'm going to stick with my belief that the game is poorly randomized as opposed to being so well randomized that it seems like it isn't.
