1% or less drop rates and how they hurt the game

Can't help but look back on WoW where they were once luck based game, and they started to lose a lot of subs because people just aren't getting gear even after pouring in effort. They realizes that and quickly turn it into token based gear system.

SE in the other hand implemented an alt ways of getting gear like mirror from Levi Ext, oil and sand from SCoB that upgrades weathered to non-weathered gear that are at least comparable to high allagan but even those are luck based.

I understand MMO is all about grind but to an extend that luck wins all to me is not very fair.
