…Then replace keys with a new version of Black Lion Chest in the store that does the exact same thing as the BLC except it opens without the need for a key.

Black Lion Chest drops very frequently and I keep getting those useless chests even though I have no keys for it.

Why? So I don’t have to get those useless boxes. They aren’t even valuable in the TP anyways.

How you describe it at least, makes it the same exact thing in essence. You want them to replace keys with boxes you flat out open, which is what double clicking a key essentially is (it’s even replaced with an openable chest). And you said nothing about affecting the RNG of regular chests. This implies keeping the drop rate of regular chests the same and changing key’s to open boxes, needlessy cutting out a middle man. They’d most likely charge you for the same amount as a normal key anyway and the drop rate for these new boxes would likely be the same as a key.

As I said you probably mean different but how you worded the post, what I essentially got was a needless change.

The idea behind BLTC chests:

  • WOW, SHINY! Oh wait – I have to buy a key for it…
  • Ah well, since I got lucky enough to get this chest anyway, I can pay for a key to look inside…
  • What? More chests? Am I that lucky?!
  • OH KIT- they’re coppers on TP?!

I agree that I’m not happy with chests taking up slots. But ^ is precisely why they do it.

  • Newer version of BLC is the same thing as regular chest except it opens without a key. New BLC is dropped the same way like Keys do.
  • Regular chest RNG goes down to 0 and removed from the game.
