Loot Crates But Faster

Say I buy the 50 loot crates for the umpteenth time. You get tired of opening so many crates. Here's my idea: HERO rank has option of opening all of each type of crate at the same time. So all of my L1 crates.. Done with a full list of my randomized skins, pets, etc. I don't mean Open all L1, L2, and L3 in 1 click, just separately as I'm sure that would be more difficult to code. This would also give the players who buy crates instead of bothering to upgrade from VIP or VIP+ a little bit more of an incentive.
I think people like the item bombs and such with their 2 items at a time every few seconds, but the loot crates get a little annoying after you've opened the first 100... It makes me a little more hesitant to buy loot crates to begin with as it turns what could be seconds to open 50 crates, into about 15-20 minutes.

 

Why not just add the option for all players to open Loot Crates with a 'Cinematic' opening and an 'Instant' opening. The cinematic opening would function the same as the current system, whereas instant would just turn the crate into the item you got in the menu (for display purposes. The item would also be automatically added to the player's inventory).

Seems a bit weird to lock this type of convenience behind a rank.

 

I like the idea you gave, So what if instead you lock it to HERO rank and as a perk for players that have at least one lv75? Does that sound better? That way It's a privilege for those that have earned it by putting the work in, and a little bonus for those who can afford to donate the $80 for HERO.

 

People are already paying money to buy crates, so it seems like a bit of a bad move to make people pay money for crates, and then pay even more money for the convenience of being able to open those crates in a timely fashion (even more so, buying the highest rank).

I can sort of see the point behind having it locked as a level perk, but crates and main gameplay are two separate aspects. Crates are purely for cosmetics, which has no influence on gameplay (other than making you look cool). Having a crate-related perk required to be unlocked by gameplay just seems...out of place (especially considering the fact that some players don't even use crates/know you get a free one each month).

 

Yeah, it would be kind of scummy to restrict that type of feature to just HERO's. Having a level requirement is also a really dumb idea, because as you said, how are cosmetics and gameplay connected at all? I do think it's a fine idea, I wouldn't use it cause I don't buy crates, but don't put pointless restrictions on it.
