The loot in BG's purple box, why 1 Geode? Doesn't purple usually mean more/better?

Alharion

So, when I'm doing battleground, the purple boxes only give 1 geode, whereas generally, isn't purple supposed to give more than blue/green?

I don't want to be mean, but one geode is like taking the <snip>out of players, knowing that you need 50 to be able to use it, so if you're only doing battleground, that's awfully long. Shouldn't this be reviewed? Or have I misunderstood something?

Do you mean 1 geode or 1 crystal?

I'm collecting those in the game. I currently don't have use for them for now but soon I will.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it deals with Battlegrounds.

Thank you for your understanding

Sorry for the mix-up, I meant crystals .

Because PvP players can't have nice things without PvE players crying that rewards are locked behind PvP.

Spend 2 hours on 3 win daily to receive 1 transmutation crystal

We agree that such a thing is incredibly ridiculous...

Back in the days BG were a nice way to get transmute stones. But they nerfed the stones and they nerfed the fun on the BGs when they removed the option to select what mode you want to play.

Because PvPers don't deserve nice things /s

The real reason: there isn't one. ZOS arbitrarily decided that BGs didn't warrant the same number of stones as a random normal dungeon, despite often being a longer time commitment.
