I honestly...think how hard it is to get it makes it so much more rewarding (as Lambda said). It took me months to get mine, months that i didn't need gear, couldn't do anything with gear drops, but when I got it..I was happier than i can say. Just like Getting the First Wind-up Echidna on Ultros day one of VA. You have a certain pride and satisfaction of actually getting the drop.

it took me months in HW to get the cloud of darkness minion...and I did it because of my HW relic. while using a token system is good, the introduction of the new 24 man will create a lot of different things and we'll see exactly what happens and how SE goes about changing the old ones., drops for minions, etc.
