TOPIC: Should URs/Relics/Legendary Tokens be in Treasure Boxes Anymore?

I think the best tokens should always be in the boxes. Maybe just 1 per convention for something like a Legendary, but with TEs playing such a big part of the game removing them would be a mistake. It is like playing the lottery - folks want to dream of the big payout.

Are there fewer auctions funding? It almost feels like more. In the past you'd have them slowly, one or two at a time. Then recently you've got a few people running them almost industrial style, all at the same time and one after the other after the other. I think they're just more front loaded now, then everyone has what they need and later auctions stop funding or need more of a boost.

Let me correct that a bit. Passive collectors, new players, and occasional players tend to focus on normal and hardcore. For Gencon, more new players play than at pretty much any other con. My point was the people with a carrying case with dozens of URs tend to play on NM to take advantage of their shiny tokens

My group is one of the ones that is outfitted very well and yet still enjoys playing the Hardcore Level. I'm able to include more fun and balanced tokens that way.
