ArcueidE.g. knowledge vs grind. Everything is available and the outcome just depends on your amount of knowledge and not on the 0.04% drop chance for something good.
I have suggested that the finer details of "knowledge" could be randomized based on a random-seed for each character. The response was that assigning a random-seed to each character would be unfair; some would get better seeds than others. How this is different than randomized drops (or real life luck for that matter), I never understood.
Sounds to me like there's a pre-made vehicle for this already... the "astrology" of Atys, the "sign" your Toon was born under. Maybe you were born under a lucky star. :)
