    Default UNLOCKED Grand Crate of The Watch or Grand Key

    The new frog crate gave me an idea. We should make a Grand Key that can be purhased for 15 plat and is tradeable, or make a UNLOCKED crate that is free to open and bought with 15 plat. However I prefer the key as the unlocked crate will make regular locks 500 gold. I really like this idea as EVERYONE can open locks, more gold coming in to the economy, arcanes and mythics will be more affordable. STS dont lose any revenue, what do you guys think?

    Actually I think it's called "selling the item in the Auction house". Person A unlocks the crate. Person B benefits when Person A puts the item up in the Auction House or for sale.

    Uhm? This is completely different. I think its called everyone being able to open locks.

    Exactly what I was thinking ^^

    As has been previously mentioned, this would cause the price of Elite chests to drop way down to nothing. The only reason why Elite chests keep their value is because for the many non-plat players, this is the only chance they have to loot a mythic or arcane item. If you make it possible for these players to open locked crates, then elite golden chests will be worth very little and that will be the end of elite farming.

    Not everyone can open locks if they don't have platinum. And making locks 500 gold in the auction house would just be horrible. So many locks would be purchased, next thing you know, too many items on the market, and the people selling don't get anything out of it.

    Maybe have the keys drop from elites in addition to being purchasable with plat?

    It would just be a disaster. If everyone opened locks, there would be so many items on the market, it would just be crazy. Locks would eventually decrease to such a low price

    This has been suggested many times before and it's actually not a half bad idea. Everyone benefits.

    Player A buys crate from CS for 10k
    Player A unlocks crate for 15 plat
    Player A sells unlocked crate for 40k to Player B
    Player B opens locked crate.

    Result:

    Player A gains 30k gold (2x his plat expense converted to gold, which is the general profit from other plat-purchase-sold items). Profits in Gold.

    Player B (Non-plat user) opens crate and genuinely loots contents. Profits in Crate Loot.

    ● 1 crate is removed from the game, and 15 plat is ultimately consumed, leaving STS unaffected with the same profit gain as before.

    Elite farming will die, trust me.

    Why farm for elite golden x if you can simply save your money and pop em crates for gold

    Barely any f2p players waste the gold they have on overpriced chests with useless drops.

    nice idea if ppl are having problem with the key being tradeable and stuff u can keep the key as a drop from elites and its drop rate should be as good as locks or maybe with more difficult maps a much better drop rate this will help game and ppl in following ways:
    Very good incentive to run elites
    Prices of lock goes up
    Free players can open locks with hard work
    But this would result to loss to sts cauz ppl would just farm for keys and no of ppl spending 15plats would decrease but i guess sts can increase more plat sale via locks from event now require 30plat to open and ppl cant use key and during plat sale or some weekends there will be no key drop u can only open locks via 15plat for that weekend and ur key stored in inventory wont work during this event and maybe the locks at this special weekend will have a "slightly" better drop rate,just my suggestions ty.

    If this gets added then you might expect everything else that is bought with plat to rise in value.
    There will be a big demand for these keys so people who now buy ankh, respec kits and elixirs to sell in the auction house wi start selling keys instead because there will be more profitable to do so.
    Locks price will increase too since more people will take their chance at opening them which in turn will make loot from locks more expensive. I don't think by adding these loot will get any cheaper.
    While changes in the economy will be more or less dramatic i don't approve of this idea because it doesn't move away from the whole gambling aspect of the game.

    I have a idea which could be slightly better, in terms of making everyone happy. Instead of being able to buy the keys, make them able to be lootable in elite maps. That gives more people the chance to do elites. Any elites, it has a major low chance to loot it. And this means that everyone has the same chance to loot it, for example it shouldn't just be looted in the planar for examples as that would mean only rich people who have the best gear can get them as they can run for runs faster.

    So - no buy, just looting in elite. Means locks do decrease prices. Elite chests don't decrease price. Everyone can open locks with grinding. Gets more gameplay. Win Win!
