It is Time. Lesser/Greater Solo Crystal Update

I implore Kabam to heed the call whispered in the air by summoners around the world: rework solo crystals. The solo crystals are a relic of times long past. A time when the inventory blew dusty tumble-weed-filled winds upon the open desert prairie of summoners’ t1a stashes. These’s ancient artifacts were once offered as desirable rewards, with the chance of gaining items that could change your account for the better. Alas, those days are long gone. For anyone who has gotten to level 60, these are the equivalent of the trash that accumulates in the floorboard of your vehicle, which you have to clean out periodically for your own mental health, but are otherwise unnotable, unremarkable, and entirely forgettable.
Let’s a look at the smaller of these, the lesser solo crystal.
While 3 star champions are still very much relevant for beginner summoners, and those of us who still grind arena for milestones, this item set does not speak to the hearts of the committed MCoC warrior! Of course, as to cater to the rich tapestry of accounts at every level of development, a veritable variety of rewards need to be both available and achievable. In the case of the lesser solo crystal, bless it’s little heart, I propose an update similar to the daily crystal for summoners who become uncollected, or thereabouts. Bump all 3 star rewards to the 4 star equivalent, bump the 2 stars up to 3 stars, and, for the love of all that is holy, get rid of the experience boosts for they are a plague upon the lvl 60 peoples of this great community! Never has an item had less use, and offended the constitution of an entire population so thoroughly.
Let us move on to the lesser solo crystal’s big brother, the greater solo crystal.
If you have eyes, you may have noticed this is the exact reason you’re able to read this sentence. Also, you can take note that the greater solo crystal is chock-full to the brim with the infamous XP boosts- may the lord strike them down from on high! Without belaboring the issue much more at the risk of becoming wearisome, I would simply propose the same update as noted above. Bump the star ratings of the awakening gem and sig stones up. If there must be a replacement for the blazing embarrassment simply named “XP boosts”, units, a stack of gold crystals, or-dare I say it- some t2ac frags would be found most palatable.
Changing the solo crystals by implementing the aforementioned adjustments would be a simple solution, and bring the crystals in line with the modern day. By making this update achievable to summoners who have completed a certain difficulty of content, we ensure that the crystals are relevant to each account as they progress.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and for playing Marvel Contest of Champions.

Can these please not be included for those at level 60? I got x3 of these in a row, just garbage. Haven't been able to use these for over 2.5 years
XP boosts should convert to gold boosts for lvl60 or at the very least rework the crystal to suit uncollected.
Alas, the price reflects the quality of the goods so there is nothing to be gained by changing it.
