It is because we are Elder"ly".
Old, senile and forgetful, so Kabam was hoping we don't know the different π€£
Most of the rewards are better, not every single reward is better.
If they aren't better, don't make them separate. Better for us to accept Paragon rewards than someone pretend they're Elder rewards.
To be honest, I assumed it is just the generic format, Kabam set it up and just add the quantity.
Let face it, what the players actually want to hear was, Kabam made a mistake and here is 1 extra Empowered crystal. π€£
Maybe they will do in the future, at least with the format already there, it would be easier (and a better) chance that Kabam will increase it in the future.
This format makes Live Ops work much more streamlined when building a ridiculous number of Twitch Drops all at once.
So you think Elder player doesnβt deserve 1 extra empowered crystal? After defeating all Carina challenges and fully exploring act 9? We get same reward and someone who beat act 8 2 years ago?
Ok, it is a good enough explanation for me. I accept it.
I accept their explanation to have it separatedly, but it is weird that elser deserves the same rewards as paragon, since paragon has been around for what, 5 years?
