Please bring back the crystal box drops. I liked the variable size crystal drops - they gave a refreshing change to the battle dynamics, although they did result in some players abandoning the battle goal and just chasing crystals. Perhaps they should not be labelled with the size of the drop, that may help. Players own goals may differ from the battle/team goal. I think that at times, the primary goal of most "free" players will be to get crystals, and I guess that paying players will want to get either rank or crystals depending on their own situation. With only getting the crystals at the end of a battle, I am reluctant to join a battle that is going to last more than 15-30 minutes in case I have to leave early with no reward. With a battle, if all the opposing players leave, then you still have to stay to the end to get any crystal reward - boring, and you risk getting thrown out for inactivity if you are not careful.
