Would their parents let them? I doubt it. Even though i don't play AL, i can see that these "crates" are a huge problem. I suggest removing them immediately and using PL as a basis. Stuff that you absolutely need in pl do not require plat, but stuff that makes your play time a HECK of a lot better require plat. Key items should always be free in a game.
Yeah, here, only the BEST gear (most of) comes from the crates, or the elite pirate chests. The oracle gun is from crate. And Sealord. And mythic. And arcane.
