Best Of

After weighing the pros and cons, I would say I like this update, but why are there only negative reviews all over?
My thoughts:
Cons:
Why not just let us trade all our old currency without a limit? There are already item purchase limits in place so our spending is limited anyway
Raid ticket prices for Essentia are bad - but they enabled the old conversion from loyalty, glory and artifacts
Missing AQ potions and incursion 7* crystals - separate issues that they need to fix, and not "ESSENTIA IS TRASH"

Pros:
The limit and value of end-game items are increased.
For glory, I only compare with the first purchase, which means the value using glory gets lower the more you buy.
Glory to Essentia is 1:1, and 100:35 for trophy tokens (TT) to Essentia

T7B:
Essentia: 3350 for 1.4k Essentia
Glory: 1275 for 1675 Glory/Essentia
BG: 3500 for 15.5k TT or 5425 Essentia
That is a massive increase in value for T7B, and higher purchase limits

T4A:
Essentia: 5700 for 480 Essentia
Glory: 4200 for 500 Glory/Essentia
BG: 5700 for 2.8k TT or 980 Essentia
Again, a massive increase in value with higher purchase limits

T6CC (non-selector):
Essentia: Half for 210 Essentia
Glory: 45% for 50+70+90=210 Glory/Essentia
BG: Half for 1.2k TT or 420 Essentia

T6CC (selector):
Essentia: Half for 320 Essentia
Glory: 45% for 60+80+100=240 Glory/Essentia (So worse at first, but evens out with increasing costs)
BG: Half for 2k TT or 700 Essentia

T6B/T3A:
Essentia: 1 for 390 Essentia
Glory: 12 for 170+220=390 Glory/Essentia
BG: 1 for 1.4k TT or 490 Essentia

Across the board, we are getting more resources per currency spent, even when comparing to only the first purchase using Glory. The only exception is T6CC selectors, but if you buy more than 3 from the Glory store then Essentia is also better.
With the free 30k Essentia (30k Glory/85k TT worth) combined with higher value/purchase limits, we are definitely getting more resources right now even with the trade-in limits, and the issue of limited trade-ins will go away in a few weeks. Overall, the prices in this looks like a big W to me, and I am happy with this update.

With that being said, since the value with Essentia is better, there is no harm in leaving the old glory/TT store open.

But why is everyone saying that they got royally screwed over by Kabam if we are getting more resources?
