What is so funny about this change , even if it’s a hard nerf those who used to run keys will continue to run keys cause it’s still the best way to use ToK.

I’d like to know when the reset occurs .
I’d like to know what’s the actual drop rate of black lion chests / keys.
I’d like to know what anet will give us to spend all those Tomes.
i’d like to know how many players did key farm and how many players play the game.
i’d like to know what was the actual impact on the market of key farming.
i’d like to know what the patch is going to change.
i’d like the community to have acces to all statisticaly usefull data.
i’d like to be able to consult the data on this changes.
I’d like more transparency from arena net.
i’d like … i should stop here, it’s pointless…

Couldn’t be more right, there was no reason for them to nerf this. And they are being really vague with information given.

Well that’s just great, first they say it’s not an exploit. Then they nerf it anyway.

Keys were the only way you’d be able to get some stuff out of the 2 stacks of bloody chests that I have.

Atleast here you spend your time and effort and gold to get something that might net you something good, they even said it was up to us how we spend our time.

So instead of us putting in effort to something it barely affects the economy and server population, they want us to use exploits like getting 70 accounts and log in everyday to get the daily rewards and make money off of that.

Don’t forget all the free accounts that are made for spying, or whatever. But doing something about that is too much right?

You spend 4 gold and 30 minutes grinding a key, or 50 minutes leveling and doing the story to just have a small chance of getting something good, but atleast a chance you put effort into. So you’re saying grinding hours in Silver Wastes or Cursed Shore then converting gold into gems (further decreasing the value of gold vs gems) and buying 1 key for 125 gems (which is ridiculous) that’s completely RNG, with 1 slot always being a booster. That’s not worthwhile.

Here Anet and all people that agree with this nerf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdFTlf2BS48 Just look at it, is this better? Because they pay for accounts? A major exploits effecting the economy and server population? Is it better because it makes you money?

You also said you upped the droprate on keys throughtout the world? Can we get number on that? I’m quite sure it went from 0.0001% to 0.0002%.

I feel sad to see they would do something like this, even if they were supposedly fine with it.
