The Thronebreaker Daily is Rubbish

Why do “TB” materials tend to grow less useful to TBs? One theme that seems to permeate things in game is that the rewards you get are precisely what would have helped you get the level you recently obtained. It often feels like a problem of “too little too late.”
As an example, why do TBs get Cav crystals and shards? What is there so much useless junk in TB dailies? Why are there no TB events? Why is there no TB level of quests? Why do I get Grandmaster shards?
I realize Paragon is the new thing. I’m fine that Paragons gets things TBs don’t. But it would be logical if TB had actually been fleshed out before the team created their next monetization point. It hasn’t been.

Uncollected get stuff they could’ve used to get uncollected and now don’t really need as much. Same goes for each title.
Reaching the any title is time consuming and has its challenges. Then you reach said title and think …damn, I could’ve use this BEFORE I reached this🤬.
After I got TB, it’s slow and steady. Don’t care about the rush of getting rank 2-3 6*’s…I’m made it!
One thing I fully believe is that we should’ve had TB crystals for a while now. 300 units for a 3* is a joke.
I will also say that I don’t think free stuff should necessarily help you progress (roll on the disagrees).
I think the problem is that the crystals are designed for Day 1 Thronebreakers (or whichever progression tier we're talking about), not Day 365 ones. Ideally Kabam would reevaluate daily crystals after a year or so when a fair amount of people have reached deeper into the progression tier, but I doubt that'll happen.
With that said, these crystals were absolute bangers when they came out, and a ridiculously huge step up from cav dailies. They still seemed ok, not amazing, but decent, when I made the move to Paragon. If these crystals feel that stale to you you're probably nearing Paragon. Good luck!
Some good points made, and I would agree that everything new becomes less relevant as accounts progress. TB dailies are no exception, just like Cav level EQ and Cav level solo events.
I am not surprised this is a divisive take. But I don’t think things like GM shards belong in TB events any more than, say, Cav crystals belong in Paragon prizes. I’m happy for the Paragon dailies that wind up as things like 6* dupes—which is great—but I also wonder why 6* dupes don’t pay out more than they do. TB dailies are for me a symptom of a broader need for updating game-wide.

Please can we get any info if you guys planning about TB difficulty (MEQ & MSQ). I mean that if devs considering next level of difficulty????
Re: objective crystals, yeah they should get an update for Thronebreaker players and potentially Paragon players.

First you didn’t like T4cc and T4B being in Daily’s, now it’s the amount. I appreciate wanting more, but daily’s are just rewards for logging in. You’re doing very little, for generally a few T4B, T4C and T2A in an average week. Sometimes you get T5B or other rarer drops. But it is just logging in at the end of the day.
I’d support a push to get objective crystals updated to today’s game, but buffing a free daily crystal that requires no effort? I’m afraid you’ve lost me there.
