Premium crates ruined...

Why do we receive old blueprints which we no longer need and they convert to scrap. For example I opened a premium crate today for 90 gold and revived 5X challenger blueprints which converted to 28,100 scrap... whatever is that? And is 28.100 scrap worth 90 gold..no.
I use the daily 50 gold, and normally wait until I have enough for 10 crates......I done this a few days ago and 7 out of the 10 were blueprints I already have which converted into enough scrap to allow me to get one konisseg blueprint. 900 gold for one konissegg blueprint does not work out right. I really hope they restore the old way where it gave you things you actually needed.

  • Well, you may have gotten blue sport part, which you most likely don't need, and you could have sold it for 3000. Is 3000 $ enough for you 90 gold? Of course not. But sometimes you get 3-5 legendary blueprints which possibly are worth the gold, or purple/golden hyper part, which definitely is as well. It is just luck.

    And 28k scrapt points? Not that bad, you can almost buy a classic sport purple part, and I would say it is worth 90 gold, right? It's just I won't buy the blueprints in the chop shop...

    One last thing - why is that you wait for 10 legendary crates? Is it that few clicks you spare by buying all at once instead of each one separately? Have you realized there is no discount for buying batch of ten here? And buying one after one allows you  to get those bps/parts sooner (before you have saved 900) or stop sooner, when you get what you need, without having to buy all ten?

    Premium crates nowadays are absolute *. no matter whatever the car type is, it provides me with stuff which cant be used. Standard crates are much better, gives legendary BP's.. :/

    Agreed, Premium Crates are not worth wasting 90 Gold on. I took a stab at buying on crate last week and got 3 street car BPs that were converted to scrap. Rather irritating when I've maxed out all BPs right up to Nissan GTR. The scrap value was a joke!

    I'd rather refuel 3 times than buy a premium crate. Premium Crates should be "PREMIUM" otherwise what's the point.

    Buying premium crates in bulk in v 1.3.2 DOES NOT gurantee rare item. I got 2 out of 10 items are 'UNCOMMON' items...  what a waste.

    @Oan79 You are just trolling us, right? It does not say "ALL ITEMS AT LEAST RARE", but "AT LEAST ONE RARE+ ITEM".

    @HeretikJirka I hope so but before the revamp ( probably v1.2 or earlier ) , whenever i purchased in 10s, i never get an uncommon items. Probably firemonkeys or EA should clarify this statement "Guaranteed RARE item". Anyway, some feedback here are right, there is no benefits or discount purchasing in 10s

  • I agree with you that this is not a good update. There is no need for us to purchase gold for special premium crates because the risk of receiving junk blueprints is way too high. In the past,it was not possible to pull blueprints for vehicles that had all their stars.
