I've been hoping they'd add more incentive to run Min IL with this patch. They had the perfect opportunity to do this with the replica (high) allagan crafted gear. They screwed up badly by making them drop undersized or normal(level synced, ilevel 130 cap) + 20/30% echo.

Me and a couple people on Exodus ran T12 and T13 on Min IL a while ago for the music sheet drops. It was pretty entertaining, but it was with echo still nonetheless.

+9999 to your suggestions, but i think just minions or cards wouldn't really cut it. They should drop (crafting) materials needed for high end stuff similar to how the i110 crafted gear worked(allagan crafting mats from first coil).
