The token idea is good don't get me wrong. But having the GM's moderate the amount of tokens a guild gets based on raid size, shut them off if they get greedy, or giving every newly formed guild a set of tokens is asking to much. I mean me and 19 other ppl could make 19 different alts and form 20 different guilds witha set of tokens for each.

And thats just with 20 people doing it. 500 hundred people using alts to make guilds would be well 500 guilds. You would have to give tokens to 3-4 different guilds tops. Then if they get greedy and shut down recruiting?

EDIT:
Also I dunno how many Donal Breastplates are on the server currently but lets just say its 200. Now if every guild could spawn him 4x a week would that not increase the amount of Donals on the server significantly? They would be so abundant and cheap. Hell even I would have a lvl 1 cleric witha Donals. So it's not just giving guilds raid targets. Tokens would have a severe impact on the economy.

Sure you could say make the loot no drop but then you could bring your alt in and loot awesome gear. Why would you shop in EC when you can be pimped with tokens? The only way tokens would work is if the dragons drop no loot at all and that just doesn't sound fun to me.

The economy only matters to the EverCommonlanders or the people who block content to sell ranger epics for 1 million plat. It means nothing to people who actually play the game to acquire loot. More loot only hurts the exceptionally greedy.
