why are minion drops so rare?

If it was a PvE environment I'd agree, but Lords of Virminion is entirely focused on PvP with PvE "training" modes. This is an issue that has plagued WoW's PvP for a long time, you go in as a newbie into a random BG and you're greeted with players that are twice as powerful as you. You could be significantly more skilled, but you will be obliterated unless they're downright awful at the game. This is why Frontlines has an iLVL cap, this is why they're getting rid of PvP gear with stats and turning it into mostly cosmetics in WoW's latest expansion. No one wants to go into the game and be destroyed because they're new, a competitive environment is meant to balanced and reliant on skill, not reliant on whoever has played the longest and has the best equipment. But if you don't understand that, I'm not going to bother arguing this. As stated, there is no fair grind in these minions, someone could get it on the 1st attempt, and someone else on their 1000th attempt.

Well I don't know about getting Kirin in a few days, set up several Titan parties where I waited 1.5+ hours for the party to fill, everyone got their ponies several times but me because someone had to leave. I'm putting the Kirin on hold for now, can't take that kind of frustration personally. I do agree there needs to be something that people can go after, right now there's only Fenrir. I want to see more things like Fenrir, they don't really on RNG (mostly, that can speed things up though), but with a guaranteed goal you can work towards, be it in one week or over the course of a year.
