Though it would be nice, I doubt A.Net is going to let us have free runes and insignias for our heroes.

But what they could do is let the owner of the heroes get an increased portion of the weapon and item drops in pve missions and explorable areas.

Right now, if I go out with three heroes, I only get 25% of the drops. While this is fine for the gold (heroes have to get "paid" too), I am the one who has to equip them with their weapons, runes, and insignias, but currently, I have to do this out of my own drops.

So maybe A.Net could buff the drop rate for players who take heroes with them. Maybe the following calculation would work:

For each hero controlled by a player, that player's weapon/item drop percentage increases by (40/# of players in group).

So, if I go out by myself with three heroes, I will receive 55% of the drops instead of the current 25%. (25% + 10% +10% +10%). But if I go out with a group of 8, in which three are my heroes, I will receive 27.5% of the drops (12.5% + 5% +5% +5%). This is no way cheats the other players who do not have heroes, for they still get their normal 12.5%. It rewards those who have heroes, without penalizing those who do not, so that those of us with heroes can adequately equip our heroes with their desperately needed weapons, runes, and insignias.
