    Default Essences for Plat

    Here it is STS. I am 'Pick up and Play' player. I have a job, I don't have the time to spend hours and hours grinding on this game. I represent a large majority of the plat buyers. We were already disappointed to see the new red pet go to the LB people only. We can't achieve this, being working professionals.

    So, we have been looking forward to spending our plat on the new crafted event crates. We already plat our way to get the recipe, and will plat out our crates. No problem!!!

    You made those essences redic. There is NO WAY we will be able to grind for them and craft our locked into the event crates. We just tested out some maps and those essences are very few and far.

    I am asking you to please make these essences used to craft the crates purchasable with plat at the vendor. You will lose many players over this if we don't see a solution.

    Thank you for listening and I hope you take this into consideration. We are grateful for all you do for the community.

    I've run KT4 over 5 times already and not 1 Elondrian Essence has dropped. How do you expect me to craft any crates at all.

    We all have our own personal lives to attend to and not have all day grinding away for this.

    Increase the drop rate and allow them to be purchasable in bulk from the store by Plat or even Gold.

    Will thank soon. This is a major problem, please either raise the drop rates or make the purchasable for platinum.

    I concur with Candy we're willing to write off any chance at leaderboard red pets since we have jobs and work but its rediculous that we're now in wt4 trying to farm essence and having little luck getting the essences while still getting the old ones too. We need a vendor that will sell us the essence. We grinded out recipe right away and then realized on new area we would never get enough essence to make hardly anything... and honestly wt4 isn't really what we'd prefer to be doing anyhow we'd rather be grinding in the new area and maybe getting some normal drops while we energy thru new area.

    We're begging to not have event be grinding in wt4!

    We know u want to get paid so u can make it a plat thing but we want a chance to work through our locked that we have in a reasonable amount of time. If the plan is that Carapace wants to change the game and ditch locked crates that's fine but give us something to get thru this transition... after this it can be the end of locked grand crates of the watch if thats what you want. I just want to get out in front of this now. I think i can speak for most all plat buying old players whe i say there's no way we're going to make it thru 3cweeks of this in wt4. Its like trying to cap every other day for 3 weeks!

    At first we thought all the crates would convert then i think we can even accept the 3 to 1 but this essence thing for anything but making energy for non-plat users is going to be a disaster. Why are all of us old plat buying crate openers being punished like this?

    The event runs over 3 weeks. The event has been on for about 1.5 hours, so let's see how it goes, ok? We don't want Mythics to flood the market and have their value be correspondingly low.

    We'll see how things progress. I really appreciate you taking the time to write with your input. I value it and hear you.

    Today we took off work to farm the event...

    I have yet to have a single elondria essence drop. Yes we don't want mythics to flood, but come on...

    Sam I agree with you, but we don't want nobody to get mythics either. Maybe to find a balance between the two?

    (2) things you haven't accounted for. The time it takes to farm the essences and then to craft the crate itself.

    Say you farm for 1 hour and then craft say (2) Crates, there is still another 4 hours for the craft to finish.

    There should be no reason to be farming for an hour or more just for essences.

    making essences buyable only through tokens would be nice.
    also the new maps has no enemies.
    only 6 vines [•_•]

    I had already planned to plat out the crafting time of every single one of those event crates. We even set a budget for this.

    I would just rather be grinding new bosses than wt4 because of the essences... we still have a bunch of hoops to jump thru its the hours of wt4 that i'm already not liking but thats where we're being driven because of this essence thing. I appreciate the responce Sam.

    So here is what you do: buy the event crates from someone else who crafted them and who had the time to farm for these rare essences. If you have tons of non-event crates you were planning to craft, then sell them to someone else who is able to craft them.

    As a big plat spender, I'm sure you can afford it.


    There should be some things in this game that cannot be purchased for plat and instead must be worked for, and they should not be limited to useless vanity banners.

    It's the fact that I am a working professional and as much as I would love to grind these essences, I simply don't have enough time to do so. The people who love the grind and have time, can grind out those bears, they can grind the red pets and leader boards, heck, they can even grind out energy essences and do all of this without plat.

    Again, those of us who play mobile games because they have a 'pick up and play' element to them would like to see essences either (1) increased drop rate or (2) at the vendor to buy with tokens, gold, or plat.
