This is the ONLY argument remaining that LTs in their current state are STILL valuable. You aren’t dropping 1 mil on 1 gem key, but on 30 gem keys!
The problem with this argument/defense is that it assumes the generosity of the individual. MOST players were willing to be generous when they SAW VALUE in the LT for THEM. End of the day if a player doesn’t find personal value they will not purchase, resulting in LTs that are not being completed and a run on the Gold Chest store!
