This kind of reminds me of farming for rare drops in Ragnarok Online and how some people have suggested that as well. And I think the idea is that if we don't have an element of chance, then everyone will eventually get everything, there's no sense of bragging rights about how lucky you are, there will be no disparity, and the developers will have no one to profit off of. If we have only a select few that's lucky enough to get the drop, then the less fortunate players will be egged on into thinking that they might be the next one, and developers make more money in the long run.

...Which, in the context of this game, makes no fucking sense, so yeah, I dunno.
