Well initially, it was an easier alternative to empyrean weapons, which were seen as much harder initially. And at first, that was accurate. getting coins could be done solo, and the next upgrade after that was very easy. this led people to think it was going to stay that way. Then they hit us with devious dice. with all the ppl in my LS vying for one, i decided to skip on the HTH empy because i thought I'd probably never get it. Now in hindsight that was possibly a mistake.
