That's not how it works in MMORPGs though, never. Other jobs players complain that you can outdo them if luck favors you. So you get balanced so that at "equivalent luck" you are equal. Hence any time your job mechanic based on RNG doesn't pan out 100%, you are inferior. And hence these RNG mechanics always get removed as a game ages. It's hardly something new, it's like pet classes getting removed or their pets de-emphasized, that's also a constant of MMORPG aging.
