Isn't there another giant thread where people are complaining about the exact opposite issue, i.e., that the game doesn't account for the specific high-end needs of valiants and instead offers them the same rewards as lower progression players?
It's called reward selectors for EQ. Especially given EQ nor the SQ rewards are Valiant level rewards anyways.
Also a huge difference than a Valiant spending 10+k units and parsgon doing the same then a TB doing the same and getting the exact same rewards.

Possibly, what that thread has to do with this one, however I’m not sure.
Putting in my vote (as a Valiant) for: I'd love more T1 dust.
Like others, it's primarily for testing out new champs as 5*s, although occasionally there's a champ I simply don't have at a higher rarity who is an absolute necessity for content like Summer of Pain/Autumn of Agony/Carina's challenges whatever.
If there's a really restrictive #tag option, and the best option is someone I literally only have as a 5*, it would be really helpful to have more Tier 1 Dust.
Case in point: Lagacy's challenge to defeat Kang specifically with a 5* Stark-enhanced Spidey. I mean it really doesn't get much more restrictive than that, right?
Not to mention 5* trophy champs like Labtron and Punisher - I really like Punisher as a champion, so when I finally got him a month or so back, I was really glad I'd hoarded some dust for him.

Not to derail, but Mags: I am totally jealous of that one. 10-plus years now and I just cannot get that guy. It’s not the biggest reason I stopped grinding Arena, but opening all the Arena crystals I have over the years and NEVER getting this guy at 5/6-star — definitely was frustrating
would also like to see some way to get T1 dust in the BG store or the Glory store. I mean it does not hurt anyone to give those out and helps with various things. Unfortunatly the only time we could get T1 dust was in a time we had to spend it or it ran out. never have I seen T1 dust again

Well if you put the two opposite demands together, you get this: "As Valiants, we want all of the rewards that are offered to lower progression players, but also valuable high-end rewards that are not available to lower progression players. Basically, we want everything."

Cool, im not making the aforementioned demand though, I just want my T1 Dust.
The other valiants who are arguing about things they want that are high value don’t speak for me, my man.
Criticising my thread because of the demands of others isn’t fair.

So? What’s the problem? We have access to earlier story chapters, lower difficulties, lower level side quests, etc. It’s our choice to complete that content if we want those rewards, only thing that we have no option to get is t1 dust

I wouldn't say I was "criticizing" your thread. Just thinking about the overall picture and the combination of what Kabam hears from this forum. Also, as a Valiant myself, I'm not opposed to getting everything, both lower progression rewards and unique high-end stuff. But it might end up being overwhelming if everything was piled into the game for us like that. It's already pretty cluttered looking for stuff.
I’ve been sitting on 50 tier 1 dust for I can’t even remember how long waiting, for the opportunity to ascend another 5 star and it does feel like that’s never going to happen at this point and that’s… disappointing
Also: You know what is kinda weird, as an underlying factor?
Now, don’t get me wrong: I am NOT saying this should change. It’s the way the game is built. We all know how it works. I am NOT complaining about what I am about to say:
But what is weird about it — to me, to be clear — is that if you’re Paragon/Valiant, you’re still opening crystals with 4/5 stars in them.
Before someone jumps down my throat: I am NOT saying that should change. Paragon and Valiant crystals are totally fine and changing those would break the game economy, and I understand that.
What I am saying is this: If you give some Paragon/Valiant players 4-stars and 5-stars, SOME OF US are actually going to use them.
We’re going to test them. Mess around with them. See what the Sig ability looks like, how it scales.
My point being: 4-stars and 5-stars are part of the game. We still get them as part of the game — and AGAIN, I am NOT saying that should change. The game has worked the way it does for a long time. I am not complaining about that.
All some of us are saying is that because we do get 4/5-stars as part of the game, we just would like the ability to ascend them on at least some kind of predictable basis that we can see and earn, in-game.
That’s all — I am not saying it has to be 10,000 T1 dust every month. I don’t think anyone is saying that.
It’s just when it’s zero, again, it’s just hard to understand why it has to be “zero.”

Right? What if someone wanted to ascend their Stark Spidey for the Carina's challenges and just... haven't been able to do so for months.
That’s why I’m rallying pretty hard for this, I’ve even asked support and they asked me questions about where exactly in the game should they distribute t1 dust and I suggested if there is some kind of selector we get as a reward from side quest that lets us choose lesser tier rewards, that would be great.
Or even as a path reward on a lower threat level quest.

Especially given EQ nor the SQ rewards are Valiant level rewards anyways.
Also a huge difference than a Valiant spending 10+k units and parsgon doing the same then a TB doing the same and getting the exact same rewards.
