Raid Gear Drop work around idea

[Airelinna]

Alright so we've all been there where we've run something so many times a week that it literally becomes tireless and annoying because the piece of gear we try to get is taken off us or doesn't drop. One week I did 11 runs of Mhach to little prevail on an item and it's hard to constantly waste hours each day to run it when you have a work life. I've thought up a proposed system to counter this and I feel that the system could work quite well still.

My idea is a form of currency that we will just name Mhach Token for now. How this currency works is each time you clear the Mhach raid you will receive one of these -BUT- yes let's not jump to conclusions yet. You will only receive one of these if you have not taken a piece of gear for your weekly run. These tokens will only accumilate for the current week and will reset at the end of the week -OR- if you grab a piece of gear within your future runs in the week. So let's break it down into a better little point.

Player runs Mhach does not get item = 1 Mhach Token
Player runs Mhach gets item = 0 Mhach Token

Player has 6 tokens and runs Mhach and gets item = Tokens reset to 0 till the next week

Now what you do with these tokens is you taken them and trade them in for any piece of gear you like. Obviously with certain pieces being more rare and costing more tokens.

Example
Chest = 7 tokens = 7 runs of mhach (You could get it before then)

and so on. This system is to counter problems with busy lives and for those whom can't run 100 times a week trying to get a piece they want. I feel this system is rather fair in the sense that yes you are still running the raid and having to put the time in like anyone else. Anyway I'd love to hear your feedback on the matter and any improvements that could be made.

I do think there should be a token system at this point, but they can probably just make it a straight token system a la Alexander (Savage). Limit it to 1 per week and require 6-8 tokens for Legs/Body and 3-4 or so for Head/Hands/Feet.

Wut iz 11?

....I did 25 runs of Mcach in week 2 for the BRD top. I actually still had fun then...

I support tokens but it should probably be 10ish bc if there was a system in place people would get bored faster & the only reason there isn't one now is artificially extended play time.

Not entirely true, Alot of people run to get other class sets also and with this system it would still take the same time as it would to get a set anyway with the required runs and what not.
