    Am I the only one who wishes you could turn those hive/expanse tokens in for a falcon instead of hoping that RNG is on your side?

    No, you're not the only one. Even if it were 99 tokens, I would be fine with it.

    I second this. I know most people say "it's RNG get over it" but still, it is disheartening when you farm something for days without so much as seeing a whistle, when friends come along and say "yeah we saw six drop in one day!".

    Yeah, and usually the ones saying "it's RNG, get over it," are the ones who got theirs after 10 runs. I'm pretty sure if they were up over 100+ runs, they sure wouldn't be telling others to get over it.

    So basically this is a complaint thread over not being able to deal with the fact that you are unlucky with RNG?

    Yes, there should always be failsafes implemented for bad cases of RNG. I don't know why that concept is so hard to grasp for MMORPG developers.

    using Expanse Totems - even if it was a stack of 99 for the bird, would also be in keeping with the original purpose of the Totems. Either you got lucky with RNG and got your weapon quickly, or, you farmed the fight and earned enough totems to get the weapon you wanted.

    Oh well a failsafe would be fine. Something like the tokens for the EX primal weapons would be fine. I was more referring to the complaint of the RNG numbers themselves
