Why people are rushing to exchange their Alex tokens?

[MisterLucie]

You and your raid are playing poorly if you need piety on all of your gear as a whm. I've solo healed all of the available HW content except for A4 and haven't ever struggled for MP.

You're really doing a disservice to yourself by sacrificing so much throughput for so much unnecessary MP. Savage Alex *might* have such intense healing requirements as to require every piece to have Piety, but I highly doubt it. You only need Piety to a certain point, and after that it's a completely wasted stat.
