Crate Tokens
This is excellent and I predicted it! It will be a great incentive for the average person to open crates to get at least what they want! The Arcane market is already out the window and making it more affordable and common to the average player will bring their prices back down from the heavens. Let's face it, 20-150m items in the game were only for the extreme rich! At least rings can come back down to earth closer to 5-15m where they should have been. A game fair for everyone is better than a game for the very few and I think this new system can do it! Even I as a non plat player am tempted in opening crates because there is a chance to get my ring instead of just hoping before.
I do hope that the large and massive crates have higher chances to loot the items, or else opening the regular crates would be much easier.
I think 1000 tokens would still cost closer to 1k or $500 on a plat sale and not $200

For shard (750):Originally Posted by Kakashis
3400 plats = around $200
750tokens/3tokens (per massive crate) = 250 massive crates
250*15plat = 3750 plat
On average I get around 400-600 extra plat drops from crates.
Remi will we be given the chance to make new locked like ursume with the locked of watch
In other hand I am agreed with this new Token System, And I support the idea about every Rengol Locked ( Doesn't matter it's Rarity ) drop them with guaranteed of get them.
Why?
Cause in our actual market is almost impossible get a Shard or a Fossil without spend loads of Platinum, please don't tell me about " Farm Hard and eventually you'll get it ", I am talking in a farmer perspective ( I farmed Dragon Bar, Brezes, Plaranite Ingot, Recipe, Lockeds, Elite Gear) And I am FAR AWAY TO GET A SHARD, At the moment arcane eggs are cheap and now some people that dream about get an Arcane pet can get it.
Love or Hate it, Farm is the very heart of Arcane Legends, and with this new system we ( Hard Farmers ) will have a chance to get a Nekro, Toor or Ring with hard work and get a compensation for it.

Somehow i understand people concerns about these tokens. It sucks for them who actually paid a lot of $ getting arcane shard/fossil. But even if tokens are going to be guaranteed or not arcane prices are going to have a lower value than now and 2 months months from now. It's actually how market is. Demand and supply !
Can we remove the gold from locked crates, and instead add it to elite bosses, please?
Iv always wondered why bosses drop such little gold. +1
this is genius! not only it will keep farmers alive, and it won't let gold to be too abundant for lock poppers (which most call it by 'inflation'), and force a good and real gold flow from farmers to lock poppers and vice versa...
please consider this, devs
thank you
always milking, no service

Support Shared Pet Stable Please!
Awesome idea and pls dnt let ppls comments change this +1
After reading some post here I agree that at least with these changes the high price of the Arcane Shard could possibly drop to reasonable prices and average players such as myself will finally be able to afford one. Assuming it works out this way.
I'll still hold on to the hopes that tokens from Orc Chest will not be extremely rare, though I'm well aware of AL RNG chances..

What about a non plat user we cant get token?
I fail to see how guaranteeing purchases with high level items is a bad thing. Are not people already running rampant with arcane pets, nekros? To secure yourself an item of worth by dropping a formidable sum of money is what the game needs; shying away from the RNG and assuredly getting your money's worth.
These changes won't suddenly bring every non plat spender to the pay to win club so I don't foresee much more of a market crash than has already occurred.
Also, lock farming will be viable again. Can't see any downside here.
I disagree with some people on this thread, to an extent. I have no problem with the flood of arcanes to the market and the crash of prices. That part is perfectly fine by me - as I may finally be able to afford a single upgrade to my current gear. What I disagree with is the whole pay to win aspect of this. If these tokens are really only available to people who spend real life money on the game to open the locked crates, what of the rest of the players? Should they just continue walking around in their legendary gear while everybody around them is in full mythic and arcane gear, not inviting them to any parties, thus stopping them from being able to make any profit? Should the non-plat spenders just sit around until they finally give in and pay money too, just to be able to play the game in the first place? I personally don't think this should be the way things are run. I am of the opinion that everybody should have a reasonably equal opportunity to get the same items. Platinum, if at all in the game, should be able to help a player get to his goal faster, but not so much faster that it's really the only viable option.
Even if regular and elite golden ren'gol crates drop a token or two every time they are opened, how long will it take to get enough tokens to buy something like a shard or fossil purely with farming? Let's just theorize here for a moment and say that a regular run of a ren'gol map takes 5 minutes, and that you are really lucky and get a golden ren'gol crate 20% of the time (1 in 5 runs). If a fossil or shard is 750 tokens and a golden chest guarantees 1 token, you will only have to run 3750 ren'gol maps to get enough tokens to pay for 1 item. At 5 minutes each, this comes out to 312.5 in game hours... to put that into perspective, that is 2 months for someone who gets on every single day and plays for 5 hours a day straight doing nothing but running ren'gol maps, with no breaks, and no spending time talking with friends in the game. Now, would I rather do that or drop a couple hundred dollars in STS's pocket and get the item I want in 5 minutes (or however long it takes to pop open a couple hundred locked crates) or spend 2 months of farming for 5+ hours a day just to get a single item drop? Point is, the gap between plat players and regular players is far too wide, and makes it so platinum is really the only way to play the game - if that continues to be true, this game will die.
The teasers posted so far have not excited me for the expansion, in fact they've made me even more concerned that this game is heading in the wrong direction. I'll wait until after the expansion release to make my final opinions, but from what I've seen so far, it looks like only people who pay real money will be able to take advantage of the better gear and systems of the game and the rest of the players will either give in and join the paying players or just quit the game entirely. Quite honestly, it'll be the latter, rather than the former. All said, I enjoy playing the game when there is something to do. I just fear that the game is going to come down to only farming locked crates rather than any end-game content, and with the increase of essentially pay2win content, you will see more and more players quit. Hope this does not become the case, though.
btw maam/sir, how about for old lock crates?? can u make it more usefull? because alot of poor players including me did alot of efforts just to get an old locks ..and the price is really low now because of the new one.. i just want you guyz to know that a lot of us really did alot of hard works for that old locks and i just dont want that hard work to be nothing/useless.. I HOPE YOU guyz understand my point of view..thanks
This will just increase the difference between people who buy plat and people who can't afford it...
Is there any other way of getting these tokens? or are they just from opening locks?
This is actually an all win solution IMO
For STS : People won't have doubt to buy platinum to open crate because they will actually get something great.
For plat user : Spending lots of money and get nothing but a bunch of legendary set is just terrible.Hopefully this won't be happening again.
For Non plat user : The price of the items will get cheaper so its reachable.
Edited:STS need to add token to non plat chest too because what?Say u need to spend $200 to get guarantee arcane.But not everyone will spend that much.Say I spend $150 to open crate.If at end I didn't got any arcane,those token will prove to be useless because with $150,you only get 3/4 the token needed to buy an arcane item.It will make me even more upset than I should be before the token was introduce.Of course the non plat chest won't drop token as often as the plat chest.But at least I can farm the 1/4 token that I need to buy an arcane item.

Good summary. I completely agree this will improve present situation of plat player and players hard farming. This will keep game alive which we all love to play.
