i don't think that generalizing all those who are opposing as the ones not having skills is not right. i may not have reached the highest level but i have gained my xp through playing team play with isida, without concentrating on team play i could not be where i am. as i have stated in my other post before they were not always easy picking. in a battle with good players it is not easy to survive let alone collect "easy crystals".

quite right as we rank up the gold boxes become less important. if i am in a cp battle with 999 points to collect and i am in the first 2-3 ranks i am going to get 2-3 gold box worth crystal anyway. the crystal boxes are just bonuses if they are of 10 crystal worth. u collect them when they are in your way but focus on game, u don't go running after them because in an intense battle chances are that you will be killed before collecting them.

i don't know what the developers have in mind. first they make it so easy by making predictable drops even for gold and make the crystal boxes of large value. what did u expect people to do? leave the crystals ? the crystals were falling at specified places before and if u were experienced enough u knew where the supplies were to be dropped, predictable drops just made it easy for those who did not know it. the larger crystal boxes is not a good idea. the previous system of crystals proportional to the battle intensity was good. now tell me in cp battle with 999 points to capture who will go all the way for 4-5 hrs just so that he gets the crystal at the end of the battle? now to correct one mistake u make the whole thing in opposite direction and make it difficult for even those who are not multing. what happens when a player loses connection and all the battle funds thus wasting all the effort and time.

The predictable drops were a good idea but the crystal boxes of different values was not. When the crystal boxes dropped proportional to the intensity of the battle it was a good thing and they were not distracting. Every body has a fair chance of collecting them. The 50 and 100 boxes just shifted the focus from the game. Now the experiment with no crystal boxes! i don't get how will they be added to the battle fund. If for some reason my connection is lost i lose the battle fund and all the crystals. This was not the case before as we had the consolation of having collected the crystal boxes if we were disconnected from the battle in the middle.

Nice discount. Will buy both turrets. Waiting for discount on hornet m2. The new predictable drops have shifted the focus from the game to the crystals specially in team battles, now team members fight with each other to get the crystals. May be it should only be reserved for death match.
