@ sir zeph
Did you even read all of the whole idea through or did you just look at part of it? If this came into play it would be the bounty pistol all over again for the first batch. From OP's first post 2 of this token would be able to get you the item for free while one would give it to you half price. Combine that with his third post of being able to buy this token and you have a disaster. If you thought getting the limited rare items was hard before because of your time line image how hard it will be to ever get a limited rare item because every Tom Dick and Harry who normally wouldn't be able to buy a limited rare item due to it being out of their price range being able to get it because they have two of this token could just get the limited rare item because according to this idea 2 of the token would give you a free limited rare.
It will be the bounty pistol all over again. Remember how quickly that item went because anyone could get it because of that code? Well these two tokens will be that code to do so. Remember Limited rares as they are now are off limits to those who can't afford them at the moment but 2 of this token will put those who normally can't afford the item in the game for getting it adding even more if not limitless competition for the item. Limited items would be gone in less then 3-10 minutes depending on how many are there and no limited rares don't normally go that fast. Now that all the limited rares are gone due to this the token's other function (which is why I believe you are supporting this idea) would come into play. Everyone if they wanted the item but missed out on it due to this token's power to give freebies with 2 would have to reserve the item and while this will make people who normally can't get the item happy since they would be able to reserve one from the next batch, it would tick off those who could normally get to the item on time through the current system because they would be forced to reserve the item because every tom, dick, and harry before them brought 2 tokens to get the item for free with the first batch, and if they don't buy the token they will never see another limited rare again because if they don't buy it everyone else who has the token will just reserve the rest of the next batch. It will become an endless cycle and it will become impossible to buy a limited rare without this.
Also adding injury to insult there isn't even a limit on how many of the next batch could be reserved. Even the final hour saw that when I pointed it out. If there is no limit on how many of an item can be reserve everyone could just use this token to reserve limited rare items and when the next batch comes out those who reserve it would get it while those who didn't would be out of luck which is why I said before those who could normally buy the item under normal circumstances would be forced to buy this token. Limited rares would become buy this token or you don't get a limited rare which was why I said it would be flipping the script about it being the same problem only it would be with those who could normally get it under the old system.

No, they did multiple restocks, but then with 3 hours inbetween. Thats still not good enough for people like me (6hours ahead)
Maybe 1 time they did that.
Same as with the Prize Codes, screws everyone with a different timeline.
Actually the last 2 restocks were done at 10 am and 5 PM I remember nightwraith posting about it and last I checked that isn't 3 hours apart but 7 hours apart for each one. Which would be more then enough time for you since you are 6 hours ahead and these restocks were done 7 hours apart.

So I'm guessing everyone who buys the token gets one regardless of the quantity released?
That is the general idea of this post. OP doesn't like the fact that items go to those who get it first so with this token you could reserve one of the next batch, or if you only have half of the credits you could purchase it for half price, or with two for nothing.

Or are the tokens LIMITED!!!?
Nope the OP never mentioned anything about limiting the tokens.
