The crystal hoarding weirdos are some of my favorite MCOC weirdos. It always starts as a seemingly rational argument about resource management and then it eventually becomes clear that what they are managing are two star crystals from a 2017 monthly event.
Where's the list? I'm just hope this guy isn't on the list. I was saving him for all future events to remind me not to be suckered into buying those banquet crystals.

Lol! Guarantee it will be on the next list before banquet 😂

I think this is to get Brian Grant out of retirement, he likes to hoard crystals and will probably come back to just open these before they are auto opened.
I understand that the old crystals could cause some issues. But please let the original and beautiful ones.
About those old crystals: - The contents are outdated (or almost) for some of them. - I open some when I need some old ressources. - These crystals are very (too) often based on the (marvelous…) RNG.
It is important that the result of the massive opening is placed in the « to be claimed » part, instead of the stocks or the overflows. Because: - It shows what the player gets. - The player is free to claim each item or not. - And that gives more time (to use it) to let it there until the last day.
So please, put a very (very) long timer to claim the content.
Will they give us compensation for it ? Seems quite unfair to mess with our profiles without compensation
The compensation includes all of the Cystals' contents.
That would be compensation if they don’t expire which they surely will . So are you going to pause the expiry of all items for a few months so we can actually absorb our resources or are you going to give us proper compensation for forcing open all our resources against our will and letting a big chunk of them expire ?
I suppose that the community event of the grand opening of crystals didn’t meet the success to get rid of all the old crystals.
With this constrained massive opening, I suppose there won’t be another grand opening event in the future. So what about using the scale of the community event to sent a gift to the community? [Based on the numbers of effectively removed crystals in the players accounts.] Not a « compensation ». A « gift ». More positive for the image, than the previous and ugly word.

What exactly are the crystals that you're going to have opened and put on a spot that you deserve compensation? Just curious.

Pretty much every crystal. I have over 10k crystals ( and I had a lot more before the last crystal cleansing ) so yes all of them being opened at once would be an annoying pain in the ass and I feel like some compensation is in order . Especially considering that Kabam could have easily made crystal cleansing be a a weekly event ages ago which would have encouraged us to deal with them gradually

All those resources together would give you like what, 10 low star champion dupes?
It would be nice to at least improve the inventory cap on the class attack and power boost, Some of us still have those challenger and win war cristals, They have been nerfed anyway
Is there a way to "mark" the crystals ingame so we know what we might be holding? Put an expiry timer on them?
I'm far too lazy to cross reference the list against the random crystals I have hoarded (20k+ full, 1100+ shard and 2500 special)
Very easy to identify. Any crystal that you don't get anymore from content or offer.
But I see in the list 6 star feature crystals. How this will help for database cleanup as they still exist and anyone can buy them again after clean up and it will create database entry. And I see multiple entry of 6 star feature in the list. Is this a bug in the list ? @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex

We get a new 6 star feature all the time with no way to get the old ones. What are you waffling about

They’re not opening all of your crystals. The list is pretty limited and specific to old crystals
Everything they're opening is stuff that hasn't been obtainable for years. Get over it.
Brian's eggs would have been safe if it wasn't for that dumb realm event.
Still sad he sold out. Realm rewards sucked too
It was kind of an unavoidable choice for him. If he didn’t open the eggs, there definitely would’ve been some people in the community that would go to his channel and leave nasty comments because they didn’t get their free rewards. He had the choice of either continuing the bit or appeasing the masses, and, since the masses are the ones that fuel the channel’s growth, he went with the much safer option.
I’d recommend looking at the actual list, which is somewhere above in the thread. I don’t recognize all of them, but most of them seem to be champion crystals rather than resource crystals. So if Kabam does a mega pop automatically, you’re just going to wind up with a lot of sigs on your current champions, a lot of max sig crystals, crystal shards, gold and ISO. The ISO is the only resource that you’ll really need to burn or sell in a limited window of time.

Well, the good news is you clearly don’t understand what’s happening, and you’ll be fine.
I quickly read through the list. Am I correct that it doesn’t include daily crystals or catalyst crystals?
If so, I don’t see a big issue (for me at least. Others’ mileage may vary)
I think some people are assuming that “LOGIN” Crystals mean the old “DAILY” (or 4-hour Free) ones. But I don't think so.
Isn’t “Login” crystal the term used for monthly Calendar crystals ? Which might mean old versions of those (calendar champ, just different potential Star version of them) crystals. Which would seem to go along with all the other old monthly feature champ or other specific champ event crystals that are MOST of what's on that list.
And for T4 (etc) CAT crystals, those mentioned are CLASS SPECIFIC ones, which I can’t even remember when those were available. (for someone, OP, above who said they earned those ones over the last 6 years ??? Maybe in one specific month at sometime during the last 6 years, when class specific ones were available at that specific time). Won't affect the thousands of T4CC Frag and Whole crystals that we still get and are growing in our inventory.
The only more common ones, that people might have been holding onto (similar to SOLO crystals, because there’s just nothing worthwhile to take the time to open them) are the old WAR VICTORY and WAR CHALLENGER crystals. Long since removed during some War Rewards revamp years ago,

Conspiracy? 😳
