Even if there was a legitimate 50% chance for exactly 1 token to drop off each kill, if everyone in the group is getting that token (or writ update, or however it ends up working), then the full groups are still pulling in PvP gear MUCH faster than anyone was before LU-42.

If you want my honest opinion on what should be done, I think it should stay with a writ based system, to encourage grouping. However, remove the class specific requirements, and increase the required # of kills per writ so there is a reasonable ratio of KillsRequired:TokensGained by your group. A 2:1 ratio there is NOT viable under a writ system, because that's actually a 1:3 ratio due to the entire group being able to receive the update. That's the same rate of gear entering the game as if you were a powerful solo class such as brig/ranger under the old system, and were ASSURED of a 3-token chest on EVERY kill. Granted, only the soloers would be decked out under that old system, but spread that out over a few people in your group and if you can't see how that's still WAY WAY too much PvP gear entering the game at that rate, you need to open your eyes.

These items are equivalent or exceeding VP-quality for PvPers. They are obtainable solo or in small groups rather than requiring a full raid and the ability to take down difficult epic mobs. You guys are insane if you think this stuff is going to be just handed to you on a platter.

You know man, i really don't like you. It's wierd cuz I have never felt like that about anyone in a MMORPG, but you just talk an incredible amount about subjects you know nothing about, and while using the most flawed, fucked up rational I have ever read. Why don;t you seriously STFU about shit you don;t really know anything about. The only thing you have impressed upon the community is your incredible ignorance, and a vastly misused, often incoherent vocabulary.

Please stop?
