If GTB for example is such an issue for WoE, why it's not disabled there, like they did in some test?
Getting the card is the final goal of MVP hunting, but that doesn't mean that everyone wants it just to thrash other players in WoE or competing for MVPs.
Most of them can have nice usages in PvM as well or you may just want to collect them.
Sometime we also enjoy MVPing on Sakray, since we are losing interest in the other servers, so it's not always only about the card.
Because it's supposed to be a super powerful and very rare card that makes people motivated to get it and be special in woe.
A few of them are fine, it spices things up a bit, makes certain players into "MVPs" in WoE. Things get interesting.
A lot of them however cause a lot of BS. Do we want EVERY RK using Tao DB? Or every Wizard using hibrams? Of course not. A few is fine, a lot is not fun.
I personally use MVP cards for PVM, not WoE. It'll be the motivating factor for 80% of people who use the summoner (they're likely not the kind of people to post here, they're too "hardcore" for friendly iRO forums). Which is why it needs to be bottlenecked somehow.
Maybe an easier for fun version of the MVPs to summon with no drops would be cool. But Drops drives a lot of MVP play. So if there were 2 versions...
easy summon no token = no drops.
harder summon, bigger cool down, higher requirements = drops.
that might be cool
