My idea of adding gold to them was so that we did not have this overabundance of worthless legendary items as we had in season 3 & 4. But now the gold itself is becoming worthless as there is an overabundance of that.
Problem is you that must include something in locked crates or nobody is going to open them. If the only items you can loot are mythic and arcane, people are NOT going to be pleased when they open 50 crates and get absolutely nothing in each one. So something must be in them. The question is what to put in them.
I think you really have to lower the gold drops, lower the chances of getting legendary drops, and slightly (very slightly) boost the chances of getting mythic or arcane drops. Overall this should balance out as the increase in mythic and arcane will make up for the lower gold payouts and less occasional legendary items.
This should result in less inflation, higher prices for crate pinks, and slightly lower prices for mythic and arcane items. I think most people would agree that these are all desirable outcomes.
