    Echidna card almost impossible to get

    It is one thing to have bad luck and not have a card drop into your inventory when the boss dies... it's another to then change the method of obtaining it to a single alliance wide loot roll, where people who have the card continue to roll on it for a measly amount of MGP

    Meanwhile people who legitimately need the card for their collection continue to miss out because of a poor design choice. I mean, rare minions like the crystal tower ones cannot be rolled on if the person has one already.... so why is it that the Echidna card can be?

    Please either increase the number of cards (maybe one per party) or change it so that only people who dont have the card can roll on it. PLEASE!

    As I stand looking out from my window, I reminisce about the old days and the many ups and downs of my adventures throughout Eorzea.
    It is then that I know achievement.

    I do have one already, but I agree. In fact I didn't even realize I had one until a few weeks ago when I won it again, then I was told it was already in my collection and felt bad about it. I wouldn't have rolled if I had known. :/

    Should be that if you own it in your deck, you can roll Greed, but if you don't own it you can roll Need.
    This way it doesn't simply drop to the ground being useless in the future, but at the same time gives people a better chance of winning it, without being overly unfair to everyone else who wanted some MGP.

    I know of someone who has gotten 4 echidna cards just to hand in for MGP.... its really a not fair system as it stands currently

    I do agree with this. I, myself am guilty of Needing on the card that I didn't know I had already. Ever since then I have been Greeding it. As Canadane had suggested, would be a good choice of doing this Echidna System. Need for those that don't, Greed for those that do.

    I once got really excited because I rolled a 94 on the card, but then someone else rolled a 95 and another person rolled a 98.

    I got the card before it went to the alliance chest, but I agree with this 100%. Cards that drop from chests should be greed-only for those who already have it in their collection.
