Or they would set out to do one, while still farming and reach their bracelet goal in a week, giving up on the one that'd take 1-2 months (for one recipe). Only way that the 1000 tokens would be worthwhile, is if you could do wayyy more than 5 dailies every day. Even at a 20 quest per day cap, it'd still take you 10 days to get a bracelet recipe. With a gating mechanic like a daily cap on quests, the time vs reward needs to be by far superior to different options of acquiring the items, because you'll only be able to get a finite amount of the recipes before they become irrelevant.
