"This one drop a week stuff is pointless and aggravating."
Are you kidding me? It's perfect, because the closer to reset it gets, the more chance you're likely to win something, especially when there's rarely more than 2 people in the same alliance that share items and the likelihood near reset of them having already won an item for the week and are just farming the coffer is pretty high. The last two days generally becomes a "ok at this point I'll just greed on anything of value just to make sure I at least get something"

Unless you're running it moments before reset, then you deserve to get done over lol.
