    The auto-claim feature as is cuts deeply against the spirit of the game. Hoping they can make it more accommodating for future seasons.

    I know I said it already but it really does baffle me that they didn't consider making the claimer opt-in or make it that you could either select what you did or didn't want the claimer to buy. It literally defeats the purpose of both letting us choose what we want rather than needing to buy everything on each Page to move to the next, and the fact that your spare Points after 2k are converted to Gold and there are people who'd prefer that over Style Pages or whatever else the claimer deems desirable.

    And the reason I assume the idea didn't occur to them is because I feel like if it had and they intended on doing it at some point, they'd have mentioned it at some point. Something like "we are also working on a system that allows you to opt in to the claimer/working on a system that lets you decide what the claimer does(n't) purchase because it wasn't something we had time to develop before U50".

    Is there actual official wording that says the auto-claiming is real? If not, I hope everyone spams their support to get back the "stolen" tomes they could have used for the next season.

    I'm not in favor of auto-claiming but only 2k Tomes will carry over to the next season, not all of them. So any extras beyond the 2k are what are being used to auto-claim items.

    I think they should just convert any over 2k to gold rather than things the player may not want or use.

    Like I said earlier, I won't end up with 2k to carry over. Most of what I have currently, and I don't plan to increase that due to other games and such, will be used to auto-claim items. This "feature" won't get me to increase my playtime either, it will do the opposite, push me further away from this terrible seasonal model.

    Yes, there's a news article about it, it was in the PTS for testing, and it's in the Patch Notes for both the PTS and Live versions.

    I don't see where it says you won't have 2k to carry over. But if you won't have 2k then none of your points will be used to auto-claim. Auto-claim only uses points beyond 2k.
