Considering the ramifications the system will have on end game, smart item drop rates shouldn't go above 10%, and that's being generous. You'll still have a nice solid chance to get an item suited for you without that system, and finding items for your other characters has always been a big part of this genre of games. The lower they keep the chance of a smart item dropping the better for this game in the long run.
Its still early to say that Blizzard will go full instant gratification, console mode with RoS, but its most surely something to be considered. Whatever happens, in a few months you'll finally be sure if they want this game to be a deeper ARPG or just a casual farm fest.
