I'd like to point out that any time you have a chance of getting something -- no matter how slim the chance -- there will be players who grind until they have the maximum available amount of them.  Everquest learned this lesson by creating ever-more-long-and-painful quests designed to make items 'rare', with the result that millions of college kids stayed up 48 hours straight waiting for a quest mob to spawn so they could pounce it and get the quest element that would eventually get them the item.
This guy knows. I dropped out of college doing Everquest. If it's attainable, players will grind for it.

Elements would not be as exciting if we just took away all the rare cards, it would get somewhat boring and we would not get any excitement during spins from the roulette or the oracle.
