We're too lazy to write arrays like that...

That's basically the problem with all these people who go by 'vibes' and 'feels' whenever the RNG doesn't go their way. The conclusion for them is always "it must be a grand conspiracy of the devs against me" lol. And then they proceed to get offended when people call them out on their *. I wonder if they ever take a moment to sit back and think about how ridiculous they sound before they hit 'submit' on their whiny posts.

* - just self moderating coz I have no better word to add there.

It's true for many threads. But why are you posting this issue in THIS thread where OP was friendly and very moderate with their concern - only saying after they were asked and wording it in a very sensible way?

I agree. I'm as annoyed by the "The Dice aren't Random!!1!11!" threads as everyone else, but if someone actually believes that I'd much rather they take this method then just shouting their conspiracy theory on the forums. They heard the source code was open but didn't know how to find it, so instead of trying to insist it's true they are taking the effort to look into it themselves before trying to present anything.

They at no point insisted or argued it was the case, just stated "I suspect this and want to look into it myself." If more people took the effort to do so we'd significantly fewer threads about how "Catan is fixed!" Of course, as mentioned previously someone who knows how to read code probably knows the easiest way by far to generate a dice roll is with a simple RND(1,6) function, but I still support OP looking for supporting information on their own.
