Crimson obelisks from artifact draws are good for beginners and low-ranks. I say after either rank 150 or 200, obelisks stop appearing in draws. And flamehawks having a chance to drop foci is a good idea as well. I currently have 5 times as many obelisks as foci. Crimson Obelisk (Uses Left: 546) Ancient Crystal Foci (Uses Left: 108)

Leave them in the draw, just have Dan slightly lower the chances you will pick it.

Assuming you have enough artifact points to draw from, ALL artifacts have an equal chance of being drawn. To start "tweaking" the chance of a particular artifact opens the floodgates.. What's next? Halcyon Traps? Spy Probe-Defense? Alarm Sentry? There would be no end to the "I get too many of XXXXX in my artifacts" threads.

I think Remric said it best. You can leave the draw as is and just modify the cost of the crux. There are a large number of players that have 500+ obelisks just taking up space. Wish there was something more to do with them. Heck, if the price was changed i might get excited to see flamehawks.
