I disagree. There is a 100% chance that a raid mob drops raid loot. The rarity can vary obviously, but it has a loot table. In a DKP environment, you increase your odds of success over time when that item drops, there is no such system in the blind lottery that the goblin is at. 1 day, 5 years. You have no impact on probability. Is there a possibility that a specific item never drops off a raid mob, ever? Yes, but that's being pedantic. There is a chance I can't login to play EQ because my internet connection drops.
If you are trying to say the 16% odds of winning a roll in a group for a named mobs item are the same as the angry goblin you are smoking crack. Is the angry goblin agreement better than no agreement? Sure, but it still sucks, and has room for improvement. Having people get +5 or +10 to a roll each time they attend more realistically simulates the time spent camping an item. And no, I don't know anyone who cant get a FBSS camping frenzy for 3 years straight, because the odds are weighted against repeat failure, which is why they have a PERCENT CHANCE drop rate greater than 0%.
What I am saying is the odds at angry goblin are shit, and there is no reason you can't have a system where the more time you spend, the closer you are to achieving your goal.
