However, in a pure %/RNG system you could get someone hitting all 10 critical hits in a row and owning someone only due to luck, that is were you could introduce weight %s that feel random but also reliable (will drop % as too many happen, boost % as too few happen - this system may be in place already for criticals as I haven't cared to check, but it is an example you can apply to loot too).
Please don't compare crits in fights with a system like this.
Failure systems like this have one purpose and one purpose only: Creation of a Time/Gil sink with the least dev effort possible.
