It's the players who have determined the value of the crates and the items that come from them. STS just provides them in the game.

That said, because of the recent change to crates (no automatic pinks), crate pinks at level 35/36 are more likely to have some value, and thus opening crates should be more profitable even if you don't get a mythic or arcane item.

Sad to say, but if some of the folks posting in this thread were in charge of the economy, the AL economy would look like Zimbabwe's economy.
U never get tired of explaining it over and over, do u?
It's because every month there are new players complaining that they can't have the best gear.
I would like to see these players when 90% of all players would have arcane pets and weapons ^_^
