why are minion drops so rare?

[WinterLuna]

@Colorful, I'm not just speaking about minions specifically, what I'm trying to say is they have already increased the pony drop rate to the point where people can get Kirin in a few days with very little effort, so I think something needs to be kept 'rare'. My point really is that if they made minions a common thing, I'd like to see some items that are uncommon. Some people just like the satisfaction of trying to get something rare and finally getting it, you know? I agree with you on the achievement thing aswell. It's a nice idea.

Also, if the rare minions are going to be powerful.. It makes more sense to decrease the drop rate, not increase it.
