    What's stupid isn't the drop rate.
    What's stupid is that people can sell it once it does drop.

    Minions should be untradable so that if you see someone with a rare minion, you know that person worked hard for it or got incredibly lucky, and not "heh, he probably bought it..."

    I agree with this completely. And the only ones that should be purchasable should be ones that you unlock the ABILITY to buy (example would be being able to purchase the Wind-Up Kobold after being Trusted with the Kobolds).

    Worked hard? there is nothing hard about running spamflox. It's a time sink, time sinks are not hard by any means, they are just simply as they are named, time sinks. It's all luck, nothing more or less.

    True, but I think it's the fact that YOU got lucky enough to find it; YOU got lucky enough to roll high on it; and YOU potentially put in the hours it took to get the little bugger. In my eyes, that would be what makes it special, and the feeling of "hard work". Just my opinion though.

    Not sure why people get so worked up over something not game changing or breaking I guess, just personally doesn't make much sense to me if they kept the drop rate the same or upped it. Like if they added SCOB stuff to BCOB then I'd be upset, but a minion? Again that's my opinion and since it's not even in things like SCOB I really don't see why anyone would get upset if the drop rate is upped.

    It's a fabricated sense of superiority. I got the same kind of responses when I asked for the Bluebird rate to be raised back in December. People seem to think that something needing to be done hundreds of times makes it "hard" and that it being "hard" makes it worth getting. By thinking something should be "hard", it makes them better than other people who, in their own words, want "hand outs". It's the generic response you can expect to anything like this on these forums.

    I have a Bluebird now. Would I be upset if they raised the drop rate? No. I wouldn't care in the slightest. Why? Because somebody else having a minion doesn't change my life in the slightest. But like I said, people take any little opportunity to be perceived as better than their peers they can get.

    "You should work for your minions!" is just another way of saying "You want everything for nothing", a flawed argument in the first place but completely irrelevant for something like this.

    I agree the drop rate on this is ridiculous, i'm well over 300+ full runs and only seen 2.yeah because I don't deserve a minion to sale for finishing my 350'th+ full run of brayflox... If it wasn't sale able what happens when all 4 people have it? oh dang an item with a 2% drop rate hits the floor, yeah real smart. How about FC's that have FC events and give out minions as prizes? according to you, screw helping out or being nice to fc mates. You all put in the work you all get the reward simple as that. some people won't ever use the minion and will just sale it because minion's don't matter 2 cents to them, however gil does matter to them.
