I've never really liked Maple's "beat a boss a dozen or maybe a hundred times before you get the item you want as a random drop" model much.
It's much more enjoyable if you beat the boss and actually get some reward (other than 40 reindeer milk and sunset dews).
You don't have to make the bosses easy, either... just make it so once you can kill them, that's it, accomplishment accomplished.
The Empress's Blessing leveling up from Cygnus killing Arkarium was doing that right, IMO... concrete reward for a challenging fight.
