As you can see, I got every pop while I was there. In that same 3+ hour time frame, I could have guranteed myself 12 KI's off similar timed NM's. If you want to limit upgrades for heroes areas because you want to keep balance between horn/shield since theres no preliminary trials...go ahead. What reason is there to make scars VNM's such a nuissance to upgrade?
