Why remove troop token from uncommon recruits

The raid flask used to be a hidden reward on one quest.

If I Recall Correctly its quest ( Battle Item II ? ) started as a hidden Titan flask, with 50% chance like Epic Troop token, then became a hidden raid flask with 100% proc rate, then became visible.

I have sooo many raid flasks because I do not use them but cannot resist free MMO energy.
