One reason I don't support the dual-method approach to the same reward is because SE can't pull it off. If they implemented a system that utilized a ??? and a low-drop rate pop item, then it might be acceptable. However, we all know that SE will design a convoluted, time sink method where it will take weeks or months to even get to the mob you want to fight. Meanwhile, anyone willing to bot the new mobs (because we all know that's what's going to happen) will be able to fight and get rewards instantly. So you just get SE rewarding AFK and automated play again (because SE won't/can't get rid of the botters), which in other facets of the game, SE tells us is bad.
And unless SE implements some kind of restriction that people participating in one type of content can't participate in the other (which I can't see them doing), one side will get two ways to get the new items. It's not like the people wanting the HNM system will not use the other event to get what they want faster. People who were doing HNM kings also did Odin on a regular basis. So really, in essence, there's no compromise in the OP at all. One side is clearly advantaged over the other People who want to be on equal footing will have to do both events, no matter how boring/frustrating/repugnant they are.

I think most who actually did einherjar and HNM will agree, you are SERIOUSLY, INCREDIBLY DELUSIONAL, if you honestly think MOST people obtained ebody FASTER doing nidhogg than they did doing einherjar. I'm okay with opinion, which is why i've stayed out of this, but this is just bs.
Waiting ONE WEEK for HQ king, that you have to compete for, odds are low you will claim everytime, is not much different than waiting 3 days for einherjar and doing odin every 2 weeks 100%, which was easier for most groups. Both are artificial time sinks, but claiming nidhogg is probably easier than wiping in einherjar. The average shell claimed nidhogg once every 2-3 weeks. Above Average einherjar group did odin every 2 weeks.
Seriously, stop posting. You're delusional.

I like to see how every "anti HNM" people speak about "bot", like they really tried all of them and have a serious experience about using them, and know how efficient they are.
I outclaimed plenty of botter with my lolxbox 360 pad and i can tell you a claim bot dont give a lot of more chance to claim than legit players cause SE did the work really well for counter them
