So it isn't like they're getting extra sub time since I'll inevitably get what I want. Not to mention, I had no intention of unsubbing to begin with since I'd obviously be doing UCoB otherwise... why am I farming the gear.

There is literally zero benefit to this system. What further defeats your argument is they specifically changed Leveling dungeon drops to address this very same complaint. Likewise, Savage's page system is another RNG mitigator. Hell, the whole coffer system is intended to prevent players from getting useless drops.

You're trying to attach some arbitrary value to grinding a dungeon 150 times. There is nothing rewarding about this nor is making it so you're eventually guaranteed the drop after 12 runs (Leveling) or say 50 (Tokens) making it "too easy." A carrot on a stick only works if people feel they have a chance. One of the primary reasons PvP mounts never works is the reward simply wasn't worth both the time investment and the very narrow restrictions; with the odds far higher you'll put in all that time for nothing.
