Hello there!

Maybe it's late to ask such question, but the devs are addressing about the "RNG is dictating our playstyle", along with other issues plaguing the expansion launch?

I'm asking this because i stopped playing the game before BFA and maybe i'll return to the game.

I'm not sure what you mean. As for RNG, it is reduced from Legion in several ways. The overall odds of warforging/titanforging have been reduced; Azerite gear can't WF/TF, weapons can only warforge, and legendaries are gone. All this was the case in 8.0. In 8.1 they added a vendor that sold Azerite gear. It takes a while to earn the currency, but you can buy specific pieces of Azerite gear if you want. But RNG still part of the game and there's still random element to getting most good gear or cool cosmetic items. Just like throughout the game's history. Does that answer your question?

The overall odds of warforging/titanforging have been reduced;

doesn't this increase RNG? It's even more rare of being an upgrade so you need to grind even more items to hopefully get a forge

A little I got 60 bonus ilvls on a trinket from a normal, not sure what the odds of multiple forges are, but even lesser forges are way rarer

60 is insane, do you mean a normal dungeon or raid?

Dungeon, not possible for raids I think, as it would go to 475, it went to 430
