Since the late 80s, RPG games and later varies other genres of games have had random drops and events based on some form of luck.

Obviously hardware limitations was part of the reason we had to deal with things like Random Encounters. But now that we have more advance consoles and gaming devices. Are Random Drops and Random Encounters still welcome? Or should these things die out in favor of garanteed drops and visble enemies?

What are your thoughts on Random Drops, Random Encounters, and other gameplay mechanics based on luck?
