How about a token system for ranked Feast?

No. No no no. H E L L no. Its the exclusiveness/ limited window/ rareness that makes the item desirable in the 1st place. If the rewards were simply treated like items in a pvp style cash shop anyone could get, they'd lose their flare in relatively short time.

How many people currently have the black ADS mount from pvp? Everyone and their mama. 2 years old. When you see one, does it raise a brow? No....nothing special anymore, and can still be obtained.

Enter new limited pvp mount. Significantly less to go around, and in 2 years time itll still stand out more than the ADS one everyone has. Its the rarity that makes it special.

Sidenote, Niko had an excelent point about items in ff11 holding far more significance due to their rarity/ trouble to obtain. I remember being one of the first people to get full god gear from sky (Kirin's osode always~) and couldn't help but feel proud in it. Closest thing we have to stuff like that is savage gear...which becomes null nearly the second its released, vender gear having nearly the same effect.

The current system's fine. Limited window of opportunity for a cool item. Miss it and you have only yourself to blame.
