So it is about drop rate. Ok so kabam will also change that we can open more then 10 crystals at one time. Lets put it to a 100 crystals at one time. Because the drop rate will be higher. Niw us players are forced the a drop rate that is given by 10 crystals at one time.
The way I understand it is the gold boost was created to dissuade us from hoarding crystals for a special gold boost event by increasing the amount of gold across the board... but the best way to get the gold increase is to open gold crystals in bulk, so we should hoard gold crystals to get the new increased gold boost.... Or something, I don't know I think I just passed out.....
It's not that big of a deal. People need to realise that you open way more gold crystals than other crystals, so rng is not a big factor for gold crystal compared to other crystals.
So all this is doing is telling us to hoard crystals, which you guys funny want us to do, bcuz the way it sounds you have a better chance at getting more gold when you open a bunch at once aka "hoarding".
This “GoLd InCrEaSe” would be fine if we still got that 20% gold boost 2x a year in top of that but if you want us to open gold crystals once we get them then they have to be more on a 1v1 scale otherwise it is just the exact same as before or we have to hoard them.
There are 3 real options now:
1) scrap this stupid rng and give us the old system 2) you keep the stupid rng and give us the gold boost 20% on top of it 3) you give us the 30% gold boost on a 1v1 scale like you lead every single summoner to believe.
This was not a few people that thought there was a fluke literally everyone I’ve talked to or is on the forums believed a flat 30% increase is coming. That is misleading.
Yeah, this needs to be a 30% boost on a 1:1 crystal. No mention of RNG nor chance of the increase. This was a flat out deceitful omission and should be treated as much by players.
The Gold increase has gone live (in fact, it went live before 10). I'm not good at math, but the changes were made to give an approximate 30% boost across all crystals.
AFAIK: On a 1 to 1 crystal rate, it wouldn't look like much of an increase, but opening a bunch of them will net out to that increase.
I'm gonna get somebody much better at math to explain this though, so stay tuned on exactly how this works.
Please do get a better explanation because the previous explaination was a 30% per crystal not over a batch of crystals.
It is 30% per crystal. 30% of 1 crystal is barely anything, that's what he in stating. If you get 10k Gold and it's a 30% boost, you'll get 13k. Opening a few hundred you will actually notice the boost. That's what Mike is talking about.
I’m not sure you were following along it’s not a 30% boost when it goes from 2400 to 2500 Per basic Crystal that’s not 30%

How exactly are we supposed to confirm if your gold boost really happened when we have no way to confirm based on your own reported drop rates of "100%" to get gold? That says nothing of ratios.
We just have to take your word for it, and no offense, but your word does not mean too much to us anymore after all the game issues that benefit you and hurt players.
People are upset because this change completely lacks transparency. Why go to the trouble of messing with various drop rates to fudge around the numbers and make the crystals an even bigger RNG-casino-fest when a simple, flat boost across the board would have fixed the issue?
I'm not any more inclined to pop my gold crystals now than I was before. If the goal was to encourage people to stop hoarding (presumably it takes up server space, which costs you money), then you failed.
Update: I spoke to the team about the confusion here and the expectations. We get the confusion and are going to make changes to just do the 30% update across all good pools instead of trying to make work.

Wow this is a scummy if true cmon man. I'd rather have the regular gold boost then.

Hoorayyy thank you.. Man the ammount of ppl that are going to ask to be compensated for opened crystals wont be a joke...

Ok new issue now that the original issue that shouldn’t have been an issue is now no longer an issue…. How do I get compensation? I literally opened all my gold crystals based on the above statement and was clearly shafted….

don't forget to include post-fight gold and event's related gold (variant/act reward)

Original value of gold in crystal * 1.3 = ?
Why is this so hard?
I feel the same way when tony and others felt when they heard why is gamora

EDIT: just saw Mike’s post above, but still.
