Crystal cleanup curiosity

TyEdge

I’m hoping someone from Kabam will chime in because I find stuff like these crystal cleanups fascinating.

If I picked a random crystal off the cleanup list, how many active summoners will be holding that crystal? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?

Sometimes it’s hard to get a feel for the scope of the game. Thanks for sharing if you can.

It’s old crystals that have almost no value in the game anymore.

Someone that was playing when these crystals were around, wouldn’t notice anything on their account.

Wrong. The player will:
- Have an important overflow of items (iso…)
- See his/her amount of crystals decreased

And this answer is off-topic regarding the question of TyEdge, that is interesting.
Kabam could give more information about the numbers of each crystal owned by the players accounts. There is a lack of transparency.

My overflow would have to increase by 1000+ for me to maybe notice, and I wouldn't notice if my crystals number dropped at all.

I imagine a lot of other players also don't keep track of either. I'd say in most cases, the way a player would find out is if they are holding onto a crystal for sentimental value, and sometime down the line, (could be days or even years) they will go through their vault to see that crystal, and that would be the moment they realize that the crystal isn't there anymore.

They have “transparently”said what crystals will be automatically opened.

You really want to die on this hill?
It’s old ass crystals that would provide nothing to modern or old accounts.

Tell me a specific crystal that’s going to effect you.

I know that’s directed at the other guy and not me, but I still wanna respond.

I just find it interesting when we get to peek behind the curtain to see how these things get done. The playerbase is so huge and so many things happen along the way in terms of rewards and special events. It would be interesting to hear that (making this number up) about 1000 active summoners have a cracked egg, or something like that.

I suspect a fair number of the crystals slated to be opened were obtained around the time people quit the game, never to return.
