Placeholders are on what, 20 min spawn?
I think 6 spawns should bring you a 50% chance. So after two hours, you have a 50/50 chance of getting the unique to spawn, if you haven't gotten lucky before then.
With a 50/50 chance, you would have to be very unlucky not to get the mob to spawn in hour 3. And given that you had 6 chances at low odds in the previous two hours, it's seems unlikely that you'll have to go to more than 2 hours before seeing a spawn.
At least when you get better odds when the placeholder dies you have the satisfaction of knowing that you earned something.
Tweaking the system like this may require tweaking the loot tables on some things, but that's ok by me. :)
Sometimes the placeholders can take 15 minutes or more to kill.
