You've got an issue with your description. It's not a 'gameplay without gameplay', it's 'picture of a playground that I drew over' and 'no gameplay involved'.
After several restarts, got the drop rate to act somewhat normal. Did it by NOT going to the Kings Games, and just fighting rabbits. Lvl 3, have had 3 drops. Maybe you need to stay out of the KG until the quest for it?
nothing effects drop rate besides luck, +100% drops does not mean 100% drops, it means you have twice the chance of drops that you started with
