That is not exactly true.  It is still luck of the draw on shard pulls, and my shard luck is total crapola compared to @Trips.  He's got Meta Toons that I'll probably never have, no matter how long I play.

I am no slouch. 6 yrs Player with 40M Player Power, but my account is the poster child for the @Trips catchphrase: Gear > Champs.  The "benefit" of not having too many great tooons is that my gear does not have to be spread as thin. 😂  

40M?!  Sheesh thats way higher than mine. 

That's because I hoard gear and you don't.  The Player Profile used to show the various components of Player Power, but it hasn't since they updated it.  

As a Canadian, if I told you, I'd have to ..well, answer, because you asked, but I *might* not be polite about it.
