    So why do I hoard? I blame vaulting. Started hoarding tokens when Magneto, Daken and Panther were taken.?

    This, this, and this.

    I've got well over 100,000 ISO & 3,000 HC.

    The vaulting concept is inbred stupid. To hear that it's "here to stay" was almost the worst bit of news from the video Q&A of things they actually said.
    I've been hoarding ever since because Magneto & Lazy Daken aren't in packs. Although I think Magneto is back, but still. The only three star I care about leveling is star.pngstar.pngstar.pngicon_daken.png (True Heal FTW), and I can't get him.

    Also, the dream of ever getting 4 star covers somehow. I'm not bothering to level my pathetic 1 3 5 X-Force until I can max cover him because any partial leveling will screw my PVE scaling (it already has, as I was stupid and level him to 175 not knowing) any better.

    Damn, I'm jealous, as I am an anti-hoarder. I don't remember if I've ever held onto more than 100k iso.

    Oh yeah, forgot that I collect high level TUs. One day I'll have 20-395 unique TUs, but this is what I have so far:

    LThor- Call the Storm (395) x 2
    LThor- Thunder Strike (395) x 4
    LThor- Mjolnir's Might (395)
    Fury- Escape Plan (395)
    Hulk- Smash (395)
    Hulk- Thunderous Clap (395)
    OBW-Anti-Grav (383)
    Deadpool- A Little Off the Top (379)
    Sthor- Striking Distance (351)
    Fury- Escape Plan (336)
    Storm- Wind Storm (333)
    Deadpool- A Little Off the Top (312)
    X-Force- Surgical Strike (307)
    X-Force- X-Force (307)
    SThor- Power Surge (270)

    I'll be trying to farm out more max TUs in the Gauntlet.

    Christmas presents I usually get something I asked for or want/need.
    90% of the time Tokens give me coal.

    Wait, only 90%? You lucky, lucky devil.

    Plus, coal isnt so bad....burn it to keep warm (kind of like how you can sell 2*s for iso....)

    Little know fact = Coal burning from worthless Tokens accounts for much of our greenhouse gasses.

    Never been a hoarder. Not even for a minute. having rarely spent for HP, I've only been able to buy a few covers, so there has ALWAYS been some covers in the draw I am hoping for. Took a break from the game, now there are several characters I don't have. I can understand not opening tokens if there literally isn't anything you want or need to be drawn, but other than that, hoarding is a form of gambler's fallacy. Once your roster is established, the vast majority of the tokens will always be sold into ISO. Having more tokens at a single time doesn't increase the odds of any particular outcome of any given pull. And unless your characters are all maxed, there's an immediate need for the ISO. I've never purchased ISO, so, even after all this time, I have characters far from maxed. So, unless you truly have everything you want/need already, burn them all until you do!

    Nice necro.

    But to your point, I have no chars that I WANT to max that I CAN. There are several sitting mostly useless due to lack of covers, which is how I have stockpiled 900k iso. Personally, I open all the event tokens when I get them but will hold onto Standards and Heroics. Standards I stockpile for the BoP events where I need low level Jugg/OBW/Ares as they dont expire while the covers would. Heroics, I wait until the chars I need are in.

    icon_eek.gif Gadzooks! And here I was, thinking that my hoard of 300 silver and 50 assorted gold was a lot!

    Anyway, just to join the conversation, a couple of my alliance mates and I have been saving up 100 silver at a time and talking about our binges. More fun that way, I think. As soon as they announced Cyclops, I stopped opening all of them because I want to wait until I can get a chance at him with everything. I like Cyke.
