Crafting Materials! How many you got? Will they become Worthless?

Im currently sitting on 3,600 crafting materials. At launch i bought enough boxs to get the wraith knife. I dont have any regrets on that as i really enjoy this game with over 650hrs played and was h...

@JjumpingJjack Not everyone spent 500$ so we should just abandon the players that did? i didnt spend nearly that much but the fact they want to bring in another currency even though there is already a rare currency in place seems rather scummy. A lot of people thought the Skins would be Similar to OverWatches where youd be able to craft event skins during the event period for a premium price. The fact you cant makes crafting materials less desirable.

I never said they'll become worthless, that was simply a question for discussion in the title. My last line of the 1st paragraph will explain how i see the crafting materials at their current point. (Crafting materials used for the rollouts of new characters and thats about it).

Again, just like Solos, we can't keep catering to a small percentage of people who think there's a "problem." They're not worthless and will never be worthless to the majority of the player base. Crafting materials are a highly sought after currency, thus the outburst from the community about Season 1 not having enough. That's why they introduced them into the Season 2 Battle Pass.

What kind of weird upper echelon, elitist whale topic is this? I'm so confused.

@asukojo yassss the banana skin! XD
@jonesy0218 i think the OP was showing a concern that weird random currencies like the crowns would replace crafting materials if all new skins are event based, which sucks for all of us in the long run "whales" included.
As for the OP, the shortage of purchasable items is literally only an issue if you've spent a considerable amount of cash on loot ticks...as you stated you have. The rest of us still have plenty of use for the craft materials. 😛

@jonesy0218 cater to the small %? This would be catering to the people that are spending money on their FREE to play game. If you don't cater to people who spend money on something thats free, well... i dont even know what to say to that.
All im saying is give players the ability to use mats for Events? Dont see how thats elistist in any way. Seems rather fair to me. Overwatch seems to do it pretty well.

Solos was a great addition and brought a lot of hype. It was poorly executed and could have easily been made great. Take away heros and put Titanfall 1/2 pilot models in instead with no abilities. BAM. you got a fully working solo mode that has equal hitboxs and abilities.

  I was referring to the small percentage of people that have most items and the heirloom. There's a larger portion of players that have a lot to unlock.
