It isn't that old. The first few events had rather bad drop rates, but by the time Threat of the Dark Knights came out they had settled into the standard of farm events having units with 10 skill levels, up to 5 CRs, and the last map being a 50% drop rate for the event unit. Mind, they eventually introduced G maps with a completion reward, making the 50% drop rate map the second to last, followed by introducing (I think with the Road to Becoming the King of Bandits event) G map costing 90 charisma and 12 stamina to farm events with a 100% drop rate of the event unit, at which point the 50% map was the third to last, but overall the drop rates for this event were not outside the norm.

It's just that even with a 50% drop rate it's possible to have bad luck some events. I myself suffered from it, while I saw someone else commenting on how they didn't even realize the last map wasn't a 100% drop rate until someone told them (at which point the proceeded to get a handful of runs without drops, but still they had far better luck than I did).
