So I have an idea that might make the anni grind situation a little more reasonable.

Right now 6 standards just seems inefficient for me to grind when i could just grind marks instead and get rich. And the act bosses that drop marks are just as easy to kill as the key bosses realistically.

What if you made summoner and nihk have slightly better drops? Or even a new boss specific drop to make them worthwhile to farm, it wouldnt have to be some op endgame item, maybe just something to help poor people transition into late game a little easier. Ive been playing d2 since it came out and the best thing that the summoner has dropped for me ever is a shako. countess already drops runes in addition to her key drop which makes it somewhat pleasant and worthwhile. nihk at least drops high ilvl items, not that anyone really cares about that on this server because its so easy to get ilvl 99 items.

thats my $.02
