This is probably what mythic intended when they designed public quests. These quests are, by nature, PUBLIC, so there can be no "leeching", as everyone's contribution is taken into account and rewarded accordingly.

The random factor of the final roll was probably added to remind us that even though randomness or freedom (an effect without a cause) are not real, humans can't know every factor at play at any given moment, so, in the end it may seem that all is dependant on the will (not Schopenhauer's WILL) of the gods.

And remember, Justice is (and should be) blind.
