    Default looting 2k gold from crates

    Yeah, looting 2k from crates is just not happening. Seriously though? 2k gold is NOTHING, it cannot possibly be profitable in any way. Its not only useless, but I get the feeling that I get ripped off when I loot 2k gold x3 against 15 plat used and it's unavoidable because its the most common item in crates!

    The "its a gamble" argument is invalid, because looting 2k is not a gamble, its just an annoying hinderence when I would rather be looting pinks. In a casino, you either win a decent/big amount or you dont - you dont win 5 pennies or 25 cents

    Suggestion: remove 2k gold loot in Locked Crates

    Its not a rant - just some criticism
    Thoughts?

    Last time I opened crates in bulk, looting 2k was probably the most common; but I guess it's a lot better than how crates were before, at least now you can get a little something compared to getting spammed with rares and epics.

    Sometimes 2k is more than a pink is worth. In my other thread I suggested changing 2k to a better odds gems. And leaving the 5k as minimum.

    I'd rather have 6k gold (2k x 3) than have 3 worthless pinks...

    But I agree, I want to kill something whenever I get streaks of 6k..

    The pinks are only worthless if one is foolish enough to try and make profits from L36 crate pinks. Twink pinks are atleast 10-50k which would be much profitable and therefore preferred, for me anyways.

    I hate selling off masses of pinks. Adding 2k gold and dimiishing the odds of pinks has helped to maintain some semblance of value for lengendary gear. Complaining about worthless "legendary" gear flooding the CS is exactly why they gave use the 2k in the first place.

    The guaranteed 6K stabilizes the crate price and keeps them from falling below 7K in the event of a catastrophic crate calamity ... (think It's Raining Crate's from the rerolling essences).

    Its not really guaranteed to an extent because many times, there is only one 2k loot - which further proves useless as I would prefer pinks, but people have different preferences.

    Before locked loot update, there were only 2 epics and a pink. Now the loot table of lockeds is much more various than before, and I find 2k more useful than epics although there was a guaranteed pink. And in my opinion, lgendary gear should worth it's name. It's ridiculous when a pink costs 250g. It should cost 250k to be "legendary", but not 250g.
