    Increased Droprate for Onion Knight/Puff of Darkness?

    Since 2.0 came out we've seen increased drop-rates for pretty much everything to make them more attainable. From Mirrors of the Whorl to Mount Whistles to Relic quest items, pretty much every aspect of the game has been adjusted to make obtaining stuff easier. However the Onion Knight and Puff of Darkness minions have remained the same terrible% drop-rate which you have to roll against 24 players to obtain.

    I finally managed to get the minion, after countless, approximately 250+ runs of WoD, resulting in my having every single piece of gear before the minion.

    Bearing in mind WoD/ST can take anywhere from 5 mins, if you join in-progress on Cloud, to 90 mins+ with a bad party from the start, with an average of probably around 35mins the 10%?ish droprate combined with rolling against 23 other players is just rather silly, in comparison to other "vanity" drops like the minions from the Hildibrand trials (100% drop, vs 7 players, 5 min runs) and the mounts from Primals (15%? Drop vs. 7 other players, 5 min runs) it seems rather absurd these 2 minions remain so low, for duties that take so long and have you rolling against so many players.
