I just notice today some decent 150 and 100 xp potions for sale and tried to buy them but it said I don't have enough of some stupid something, so I asked a couple of guild friends wtf were they taking about. They said that you only get these type of things when you buy those useless Crates. I not into buying anything that wont help me in battle, especially a bunch of worthsess crates. Sitting with a ton of Crown, and that's where they are going to stay
1. You are not forced to buying anything from Crown Store.
2. You can buy XP potions from guild stores.

You didn't seem to care that they existed as a rare drop in the Crown Crates.
Now that they can be purchased with Gems in the Gem Store, the same way literally every other item that can drop from the Crown Crates can be purchased, now its a problem?
lol +1 entertainment
btw I converted my scrolls into gems when I got them.
No they didn't. They turned out to be not as absolutely terrible as they were on the PTS. They're still very bad. The fact that they changed it so you can convert any consumables to gems is literally the only thing keeping them from being totally and completely exploitative. Just because they're not as utterly awful as they were in the first iteration we saw of them doesn't mean that they're kinda okay.DeadlyRecluse wrote: »Sure.
The crown crates turned out to be kinda okay for RNG boxes.

It was a long time ago now, but I only got the 100% exta xp scroll, and I think it gave me 13 gems. It makes sense as you get about 1/3rd gem cost back. That one costs 40 gems in the store.
We can assume then that the 150% xp scroll would give you 33 gems if it was converted.

I'm not saying they are a rip off, some people like fluff, so it's their crowns let them buy them and enjoy what they get. but tying one into another purchase for something a person does not want is not right. PERIOD
NOTE TO YOU:
NEVER use your REAL MONEY to buy IN-GAME items that has an RNG element tied to it.
"Spend $14.99 for a CHANCE to get a Mount." when you can just spend 900 Crowns or 10k Gold to buy a Horse.
Yeah gambling boxes are terrible and a complete betrayal of social contract. No more buying things directly like a normal person, only gambling now! "It's only cosmetic. :-) You aren't forced to buy them. :-)" Yeah okay I guess aesthetics don't matter in the game that prides itself on player customization so much that they got The Onion to do a parody piece on it, totes believeable. You point me to the place in the Crown Store where I can purchase the cool mounts directly and I'll hop right over.

There are some real cool mounts in the Crown Store that aren't gated behind crates.
