Sell the chests/crates and buy exactly what you want in the cs. It Its been a huge stress reducer for me.

Rares don't drop in elite golden chests.

Mythic and Arcane items do drop out of Elite Golden Warchests. The thing is, they are rare - by design. Mythic and Arcane items are some of the most rare items in the game. Usually people don't come to the forums to gloat about the items they receive, but to complain - so maybe that's why there are complaint posts.

We know that and that thread should be closed..

Because we have tons of such as these on forums. Also i don't see the point of being offended because of "seed AL generators". With anger You don't recive arcane item or mythic.. or legendary... That won't help. We have closed the crate discussion. Crate has LOW drop chance.. and You spend plat on it... Look at that like that Elite Golden has chance to drop legendary like 1/100... mythic 1/10000 and arcane 1/100000... So don't expect the "arcane item waterfall"...

There's a reason why Arcane and Mystic items are so expensive^^

Also, I'd prefer NOT having to compete with multitudes of players running around in Mythic/Arcane. I like it the way it is, being a rare sight to see.

Also, idk about you, but the cheap pink gear is the reason why many new players can play and have a chance.

we need a better drop rate from elite golden warchest

It is just ridiculous that locked and elite war chest have the same drop rate.

locked is more easy to drop than elite golden warchest

No, we do not.

The gear is exceedingly rare for a reason. In most MMOs, developers release near impossible to obtain gear. What's wrong with that? It gives the hardcore audience something to attain, if they're willing to put in the effort as well as giving casual players something to admire AND make existing gear cheaper for them. Why? The hardcore players do not want the existing gear, but most must have their hands on that shiny new gear.

Thus, if the items are worth 15-20m, it is okay. Take a look at PL, okay? 6 months back, dragon gear was just as rare as Mythic and Arcane gear in terms of value. Simply one piece could go for 20,000,000 gold. However, not many players had this much money so you rarely saw it in action and it hardly made a difference in PvP due to the fact that almost nobody had it. Now? Dragon gear is still expensive, because even though the drop rates were increased, they weren't increased to the point where they completely lost all value. Now what do you see? Some of the rarest gear is in the hands of new, inexperienced players. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, but it makes any goals for players who are dedicated to this game nonexistent. Also, 61+ PvP lost a majority of it's competitiveness.

Why? Even though the majority of players could have dragon sets, this put other players at a disadvantage. Sure, the existing players now can afford it, but what about the newcomers? They're completely discouraged because a large majority of players have gear better than them. Before the increase of the drop-rate, it was rare to see a dragon set. Now? You're at an extreme disadvantage if you do not own one, especially if you do not even have at least an elite ring of some sorts (2 or 3 piece).

61+ PvP is barren due to that now. Only the players who could afford both the gear, then the vanities on top of it PvP. If you can't? Forget it, you will not be having fun having your butt handed by most players in PvP due to the best items being able to be more easily looted.

I don't know if anyone is trying to understand my point, but the scale of Arcane and Mythic items as of right now is perfectly fine. If they give chests a better drop rate (but not to the point where they become like legendaries in AL - cheap) you will see more players with OP gear in PvP and PvE and leaving many, many more players out classed.

Trust me, having a few people have OP gear because they can afford it is much better than allowing a majority of the middle-class players (in terms of in-game financial wealth) to have these items.


Food for thought,

Explained better than I could've ever done. Mythic n Arcane items are fine as they are, no need to increase drop rates.

locked is more easy to drop than elite golden warchest

I agree with everything Apollo said, but would also like to add on that they SHOULD have the same drop rate. Elite Gold Warchests are harder to get than crates, but crates cost 15plat to open and chests do not. This is a balance, to give either a better rate would be unbalanced.

Why aren't there complain posts about "rare" items which are easily obtained from monster drops and usually just getting sold for liquidation?

I like how these items fits their title as "legendary", "arcane", and "mythic". There are reasons why they called it such.

locked rule, just farm elite chest for selling it and enjoy
I just want to take mistiquexmen position, who will be a freeplayer.

currently most of players with arcane and mythic items have looted from locked. So the game will be reward the hardworker with a sightly better rate in elite warchest and not always the new player with his card who have just need to open locked

we lost the term "game" in opening locked for drop the best set.

we need to play and fight hard for drop mythic and arcane items, and not always the same easy cash way. It is just boring in time.

It is a game or just a hidden supermarket?

thanks for understand what I mean

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that "most" players that have mythics or arcane have purchased them with gold. So, in theory, they have worked hard to get these items. Just in a different way than you have stated.

To add on to that, I may be wrong on this, but I'm nearly positive locked crates are opened way more often when compared to elite chests. Thus, of course it is going to seem like people loot more from locked crates versus elite crates.

i don't you need to go out on a limb for that one. locked crates are MUCH easier to farm than elite chests. it takes a 15 min run for a chance at an elite chest. If u get a luck elixir and go to the usual spots ur practically guaranteed at least 1 crate in 15 min.
