No, Sirrian already confirmed it is there, but they reduced its drop rate. Thankfully we should get it for sure when the Vault Event starts, if not before. ---

> [@3.3 Feedback and suggestions](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/3-3-feedback-and-suggestions/36036/184): > > Treasure Vault Feedback: I just got 4 Minor Magic Traitstones. Please take that out. Vault Keys are already not the easiest to get, that’s just… disappointing. Like getting a half eaten Tootsy Roll for Christmas. Like the 50k Gold I got as the 2nd reward for that would have gotten me 4 Minor Traitstones and a bunch of Commons/Rares I may have needed instead, and I’m not fond of that prize either. Feel free to leave minor traitstones as a Gnome reward, just… its a bit little for Treasure Vault. It seems he got it after the boost/nerf. EDIT: false alert, so still no Vault keys dropped… ---

I got my key yesterday, I used it today. I left feeling really disappointed. Would have used it yesterday except the Achievements weren’t live on my console. ---

Loot from 3 Gnomes: 100 Souls: 2 6,000 Gold: 1 It took 30 minutes at around 3 wins per minute, which is exactly at the 1 in 30 they mentioned as the approximate drop rate. ---

They nerfed it again as simple as that. So now the rewards are terrible and it’s nerfed. Stupid! Just get rid of them if this is how bad this has got to be. Game is getting boring anyway. Don’t really care for GW anymore either. Most people are barely hanging on and they keep messing with it everytime they have a person or two that actually starts liking game again. ---
