    I would suggest making the ponies available for like 9 rowen's tokens. That is 3 weeks of doing the weekly EX primal quest for 1 mount that seems fair and takes the very annoying RNG out.
    It'd get some players interested in running the first set of EX Primals again, if nothing else.

    That's exactly what's happening with increased drop rates. People are indeed going back to earlier Primal EX battles. The bitter truth is, there has to be a RNG in place to make us coming back for more (playing and paying) cause "I'll surely get it next time!"

    Not really no. That is a very flawed logic. I can assure you me and a lot more players would farm the EX's for content is there was any semblance of guarantee you'll eventually get one.

    If they made it 20 tokens per pony, I would run a total of 60 Primal runs for one, and 420 runs for all 7 of them. I guarantee you this is much many more runs that I would ever do with the current system. Right now I sometimes, maybe once in a blue moon do a single run before remembering how terrible the system is and not bothering. It took me all of 10 tries with the new "Increased drop rate" before I realized it is an exercise in futility.
