CG outdid themselves this conquest

This seems on par to me, which in my books means tedious but doing a 6 month unlock will keep me in the game.

Red crates are not for me, not because they are unattainible, but it would drain every bit of love for the game from me to grind for them. By settling for the second highest box I can still enjoy the game during conquest.

Remember that you should play the game, not the game play you
