It's not that I think it should always be that way, I agree that in general more success should go to those who have more skill and expend more effort but here we have the situation where a few are almost completely dominant and most players simply don't have the time to compete at that level. This is giving the more casual players who may be just as skilled but don't have the time or drive a chance. Let's face it, playing for many hours every day is a huge commitment that is difficult to balance with a normal healthy life. Work, school, eating, exercise, other leisure activities, etc all compete for our time. I think it is good to give the more casual players a chance some of the time and this is doing just that. I support most of the time making it, as it was, where the master looter has the advantage.
I fail to see any way where obscuring the location and leaving to chance if they find it is allowing casual players a chance to get to it first.
I have little time to play tlopo; I'm a college student working a full time job, I'm the definition of a casual player. There is absolutely no way that this helps me find it before someone else, in fact it makes it countless times harder. Someone with more time than me can loot at multiple different bosses and look for results, while I can choose one boss every couple days and loot at it for an hour or 2 tops.
I still have a vastly lower chance of finding it than someone else, obscuring it just makes it more frustrating for all parties involve as you never know if you're not getting it because of luck or because the boss doesn't drop it.
