Stop being so elitist guys, as I have said, it is a skill token and just because you have done the requirements many times over does not mean it should suddenly get harder. It has not been the hallmark of the most elite players for a LONG time and you all know that. If it suddenly becomes a very hard token to acquire, all you will be doing is giving extra legitimacy to the people who got it when it was "easy". That's dumb.
What I'm going to say is this: certain songs shouldn't bear the Oni token, and some should. I'm not up for changing the requirement outside of FMO songs, but times have changed--certain songs aren't as hard as they used to be because people have over-played them and mastered them. A For Masters Only song shouldn't have near 100 AAAs (None Would Escape SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A VC)--it should be for, as you said, the best of the best. I'm tired of people getting cheap Oni unlocks by abusing the easy songs. In fact, the token should be updated so that it disappears after a song rating as been lowered from FMO (I'm looking at all of you who have it because of Balloon Fever). This isn't being elitist either. If songs are getting re-rated in difficulty, the tokens for getting requirements like Oni need to be balanced as well. There are quite a few songs that need to be re-ranked so that it's not an Oni get, and Oni should be expand so that it can be reached by AAAing ANY FMO, not just a certain one (I've heard of a few cases where it didn't unlock Oni, because said song wasn't a qualification for the unlock?).

Yeah, I'll rant about this topic for a while too. Oni is getting TOO easy to get and it needs to be stopped.
