Please get rid of crafted keys,

In the preview notes for the new mod, we were promised an end to the pointless drudgery of crafted keys. Chests would simply open, we were told, and our saved keys would be good for re-rolls only. Hallelujah, we cried with one voice. Now, we find that we are oppressed with even more crafted keys than before, and the old chests still require the same crafted keys, requiring the same pointless grinding of campaigns we finished long ago.

Please just make chests open.
Crafted keys are a waste of time if we've run out of long-saved campaign currency, and a waste of currency for characters that are still leveling.
They're just a nuisance, and we have plenty of bugs to worry about if we want nuisances in the game (though, of course, we don't).

    When did they say that there will be no crafted keys?

    They only talked about "Standard/Epic/Daily keys will be no more. " That was pretty specific.

    Whatever. Crafted keys were always a bad idea, right up there with adventure packs and fishing.

    If you've run out of resources to craft keys, that's your fault. Campaign keys are fine the way they are. Especially since they added more like the Bramble Key.

    crafted keys give you on 2n chest for about 12k rad(1st try or you can reroll) +normal free key chest around 8k-9k rad and you want to get rid of it lol this is one of the best stuff they implemented to roll and rewards. @nitocris83 maybe put some campaign currencies pack on zen shop/wondorus bazaar(ad drain idea).

    Weirdly, the need for resources to craft them is, in fact, part of the reason I find them objectionable. It's as if you read my post and then for some reason felt obliged to simultaneously criticize it and explain it without ever having understood it. Please just shut up.

    No. It was fairly clear. You don't want to run old content to collect what is necessary to craft keys. Fine. Don't. But don't complain because the chests still require those keys you can't be bothered to make.

    Ah yes, the "I don't like it and if you don't agree, you can stfu" schtick.

    That was cute and adorable in like 2nd grade.

    I don't like the need to have resources on hand to make keys either, and I don't like the notion of needing components to refine gear either.

    But I suck it up and deal instead of acting like an entitled baby on the forums.

    it would be cool if they lower the cost to make keys, since those chest pulling are still weak cheapass. i can see why Op still upset since it take lot of time and investment with old currencies to make them, and long cooldown timers. we need to make worth the run.
    remove any greens and blues from champaign chests, we all tired of getting ripped off by bad low grade loots.

    I look forward to the day when you realize that not wanting to waste one's time for imaginary rewards in an imaginary world is not, in fact, a sign of laziness or immaturity.

    Someday you will understand that standing up for every time-wasting, low-reward aspect of a video game is a sign of badly misplaced misplaced priorities.

    Re-roll tokens are with "Other Currency" on your riches tab.

    Someday you'll realize you are just one voice and not necessarily the loudest. Just because you don't like a thing does not mean that thing is broken.

    Just because you have enuff time to grind out 14 campaign currencies at the same time, doesn't mean it's not broken. Trying to run 3 - 5 quests in just 2 zones per day, on top of the new mod changes has me feeling fine*.

    I don't grind it all out across all the campaigns. I collect what I need when I need it and do what I want the rest of the time.

    Rather have a free chest and an extra reward like the key chest for those of us who have the campaign currency, its not broken and won't kill u not to open the chest. Nor is it needed, its the same way it was before when we didn't have 2 chests in some dungeons. One chest at the end just u have an extra one now for additional rewards, ur still getting wat u worked for

    Not to mention, gathering to make a key isn't all that onerous. Unless you run each and every dungeon every day.

    It would seem that OP does not wish to debate this, and would like people who disagree with him to "please shut up", so the thread is closed.
