Tomes vs random drops

[JunseiKei]

I prefer the token system. Doing Coils, it was incredibly annoying getting the same drop three times in a row, being locked out at once a week until the lock out lifted. It's also incredibly annoying to be held back in gear simply because RNG decides it wants to mess with you. Considering you can still get the items before you hit the amount of tokens needed, I find this a decent mitigation on RNG.

We had the Midan Belt of Fending drop six times in a row. We've also gotten double healing accessories three times in a row in the Alexandrian tier. Our poor monk has only ever gotten his gear through tokens (it really hates him!); I can only imagine his rage if it had the same loot system as Coil.

EDIT: Nope, wait. I was wrong; he got the striking headpiece through a drop.
