The fact that the game somehow knows what you want/need is credible (but not necessarily true), mainly due to the fact that there are so many people having difficulty getting hard-to-find items when they need them most. For example, I needed 5 Leaders Crest (and still need 1), 3 for the final Jaggid Fire Bowgun Frame upgrade, and 2 for Baggi Mail. I have done Leader of the Icepack 22 times and gotten 4, all Online. 10 times offline, and none so far. I am a firm believer that the game has code somewhere that checks if you don't have certain upgrades, then gives you a "luck factor" based upon how many rare items you need. Sure, people say the game's code has been poured over before, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have a formula or something encrypted somewhere in the save data, or in the collision data of a certain area's map, or anywhere for that matter. But I firmly believe that such data exists somewhere. Does anyone agree with me?
