Best part about this argument? People in XI hated SE for doing this lol. The stagger system is exactly what this is, while it's not purely based on skill performance it's a way of rewarding people for doing x condition in a fight outright. You may not get the rarest item even with staggering but you're guaranteed most items this way.
