1% drop rates... a thought expriment.

Then what is the challenge any more?

Challenge? What does challenge have to do with luck?

A game is a strict set of rules designed to give you a challenge. You beat it by becoming better at it through the understanding of game's mechanisms. From newbie to mastery the progression in small steps is visible to you till you finally beat it. After you killed levi for 10 times or so it's fair to assume you're beaten the challenge the game gave you for that particular fight.

After that, trying to farm some ridiculous 1/800 drop you're not dealing with challenge anymore but with luck. An arbitrary number that doesn't take your skills into account, something you can't get better at no matter what. For me luck goes completely against what a game is. One rewards the one that masters the game and the other rewards in random.
