    Default 30 locked crates, and...

    This is a rant, and I know it will be locked. But I felt like venting. But you can also take it as a feedback. Agree or disagree.

    I opened 30 locked crates, that's 450 platinum, not to mention all the platinum also spent for the re-roll elixirs. And what do I get, nothing... useless legendaries that are not even worth selling, like a Sorcerer item with DEX as a main stat. I just don't understand games that make you spend money for a minuscule chance to get an item, I could probably open another 30 and still get nothing. And they are so easy to farm and abundant that I think the whole system is just flawed, in other words a rip-off, and destabilizing the economy.
    Running elites... Why? I haven't seen anything worthwhile drop, useless chests and greens/epics with re-roll elixirs.

    I just don't see an incentive to play, there is absolutely nothing to strive for. When I reached 31, I right away bought all the best-in-slot legendaries for my Rogue of the AH for cheap gold, two sets actually one for DPS and one for HP, dagger set and bow sets. Next best items are mythics, which cost millions on the AH, and probably have a 0.01% chance from the crate. "End-game" ended right there...

    I know some of you will say that 30 locked crates is nothing, I am sure there are people who probably opened a 100 of them, well good for you. But it's stupid.

    There is no progression in this game. Progression keeps people playing. This is a grind-fest for that 0.01% chance. No thank you.

    End rant.

    You are right. Read my post on the economic problems that AL faces. I suggest some fixes there. But keep in mind the solution is not to increase the rate of mythic & arcane items in the crates. Then those too will become worthless.

    I don't get why people complain about items being so rare. They're called mythics for that reason. If you want to get the best/rarest items in game with little to no work, try PL. You'll have nothing to work towards I garentee you.

    Rather than trying to buy your way to the items with plat or complaining about their insane prices, why not strive to reach that price? Those who either want the item badly enough or get extremely lucky will get them. Those who spend 450 plat in hopes of an easy way of getting them then give up won't.

    I agree with this post, there is no way now to farm for best (arcane/mythic) or just better items that you have (cause there is no better, either 100k set and u settled, or go 40mil for mythic set).
    There should be farming (not merching!!) way to grow and prosper in this game, like there was in seasons 1-2. Give us decent eggs other than malison to farm that drop in maps and not affected by loot elixir, give us better party system to farm (easy leave/join)

    best solution for now is not to be tempted to open those crates

    Thread closed:
    A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.
