    Maybe they could make big game HNMs (talking behemoth, aspid etc.) drop tokens exclusive to the particular NM (redeemable at NPC) to encourage fairer distribution through LS. Remember how Limbus runs used to work where ancient beast coins would be distributed evenly at the end? Personally I would prefer straight drops, but tokens might make for a more agreeable solution for some people.

    Just an idea.

    Interesting idea. This would definitely be a good compromise.

    Let's use King Behemoth for example. Instead of obtaining his "drops", he dropped a set amount of tokens every kill. Somewhere, there would be an NPC to whom you could trade these tokens to in exchange for loot.

    Lets say - Neptunal Abj.: Legs - 10 Tokens
    Behemoth's Tounge - 5 Tokens
    Behemoth's Hide - 1 Token
    Defending Ring - 50 Tokens

    I kinda like it. Most certainly encourages fair distribution.

    Should the tokens be tradeable, or Rare-ex?

    Umm what's actually the difference between a certain HNM if it dropped a token or the armor itself? your idea does not make any sense to me lol.

    I guess I need to explain in more detail. Lets say of the aforementioned items, there is a 5% drop rate, and 1% drop rate on Defending ring. You can kill for weeks and weeks, and months and maybe only see a couple of each.

    If the NM's dropped an equal amount of tokens every kill, you would be able to work at getting the items you are interested in without dealing with horrid drop rates. You would also not feel that pang of despair every time you killed the NM without drops, because with tokens there would be a set amount that would drop every kill. It would be up to your LS to split tokens equally each kill, or they could just go to a designated person, etc.

    This is a really lovely good idea ! give up the linkshell point-system (DGKP) and Drama (lootwhore).Simply come kill NM, get what you desserve, be here often, and go buy what you have farm for. this is the best system i've heard from here.
