Finding a reward on Raft’s RNG (Random Number Generator) list can be incredibly frustrating for many players, as “Imjustmean” put it when they complained about spending days searching for the plane island and the last tiki head with no success. This level of investment in time isn’t something most gamers are keen on, especially when the gameplay shifts from exploration to watching paint dry. Many others have shared similar feelings, pointing out the absurdity of waiting for a prize that might never appear, which can feel like searching for a needle in a vast sea of debris.
While some find delight in the unpredictability of video games, asking players to chase after trophies that may not even show up is akin to looking for a needle in an enormous ocean of floating junk. As one user put it, “The thrill of chance feels more like a chore.” This expression of dissatisfaction with RNG challenges in the game manages to be both humorous and relatable.
