I don't mind a low drop rate but the work needs to = the reward. And if I get a duplicate weapon and I cannot give it to someone else in my party that is extremely frustrating.
I like the idea of the totems, I can do the fight over and over and work slowly towards the reward I want. Any duplicate weapon drops that come to me apparently turn into the totem token as I leave and that is fine, but if an item my sister wants drops and I don't want it I should damn well be able to pass it to her.
