AL Economy in Recession??

Crates should either give gold or mythic or plat. No other items, so it isnt ruining the prices. Here, people can get a chance of getting mythic (should be really low) or get maybe around 10k gold, so its like a plat to gold conversion, but your getting less gold at the chance of getting mythic, without ruining pink prices.

I have to say this is a VERY GOOD idea. Let me expand on this a bit....

Imagine if each locked crate had 3 random items. Each of those 3 items had the following chances:

--90+% chance to get gold (maybe different amounts of gold, with a smaller amount like 1k being more common and a large amount being more rare, perhaps even a jackpot like 500k or 1m on rare occasion)

--3.33% chance of a pink item -- these would be the crate pinks or pet eggs like Orion (since there are 3 items per crate, this means 1 in 10 crates will give a pink item, yet it would be possible to get multiple pink items in a crate)

--very rare chance to get mythic (one-third of whatever the current percentage drop for mythic is -- remember there are 3 chances per crate, so if each chance is one-third of the current drop rate, then the chance of getting a mythic in a crate will be the same)

--arcane, same as above for mythic items.

I don't see the need to give plat rewards from crates. Players who open crates already have plat, and if they wanted plat they would just keep the plat they have and not open crates. They open the crates because they want to spend the plat for a chance at a good item (or maybe gold if there was a gold jackpot as I described above).

Lastly, there is no reason for purple items to come from crates. Nobody keeps these items, and they are just worthless. Just give gold instead.
