Battle crasher is nice, I suppose. Want to impress me? Have one crash my PvP **offense** team once in a while. When I win the battle anyway, give me a truly useful reward. šŸ˜· ---

I see crashers as another way to reduce your chances of finding pet gnomes. 500 gold or a pet fight? I will take the pet every time ---

Iā€™m actually SERIOUSLY annoyed by the crashers (or trashers) this time around. Thereā€™s a new mythic out and I want to try out teamsā€¦ but I mainly encounter thrashed teams by the new battle crasherā€¦ so canā€™t really say which team is decently consistent in a real pvp fight and which one is notā€¦ Wish there would be an option to stop them spawnā€¦ ---

At least the crasher is giving out something that can be useful at all levels: Gold. Donā€™t tell me endgamers donā€™t like gold. You can always try for an extra LT or two. ---

Uhmā€¦ I rarely have a need for gold, and when I do, there are better ways to get itā€¦ Iā€™m not even close to the endgame, but I never ever struggle with gold, even after contributing to Legendary tasks. And you do realize that the rewards from the Legendary tasks as just as useless as gold for a true end game player, right? My point was that Iā€™d rather be able to strategize and build PVP teams with the new mythicā€¦ but the crasher totally ruined that for me. So, no more playing this weekendā€¦ ---

On the other hand, it allows me to attack more difficult opponents. Just beat a Zuulā€™Goth opponent, because Zuulā€™Goth was replaced. Brilliant. šŸ˜ƒ ---

I do feel like we see less gnomes with a battle crasher. It doesnā€™t override it but it does have less of a chance of showing up. I do like the extra gold though And a fun fact I learned is the battle crasher will never replace the hero. ---

I also enjoy seeing the last opponent disappear via Rising Shadows occasionally when the Crasher appears. Sometimes itā€™s the Crasher that disappears! ---

The frequency of battle crashers ā€œinvadingā€ the line up of an opponent far outweighs the frequency of gnomes appearing in a similar fashion. I regularly get 3 consecutive crashers in pvp but I canā€™t remember that ever happening with gnomes. How gnome frequency is not reduced under these circumstances is beyond my comprehension. ---

> [@Thevc](#): > > How gnome frequency is not reduced under these circumstances is beyond my comprehension. Yeah, I am assuming that the Gnome rate is near zero for the duration of the battle crasher event, especially for Pet Gnomes. Appears to be so, anyway. šŸ˜’ ---

I see no obvious difference in gnome rates between this week (with battle crasher) and last week (no battle crasher, before the vault event). Weā€™ve actually had more pet events this week than the previous one (Mon, Tue, Thur). Gnomes were scarce before and theyā€™re still scarce now. Perhaps more obviously so, with the battle crasher not being scarce. ---

If a Gnome would spawn, a Battlecrasher will _not_ take its place. ---

I tracked Gnome appearances one week that included a Vault weekend but no battle crashers. Monday thru Thursday, 37 Gnomes showed up in 1523 PvP battles (2.4%), 11 of which were Pet Gnomes (0.7%). (Of course, the 3 on Wednesday were useless! šŸ˜œ ) I really wish I had started tracking them this week. Oh, well, perhaps next time.
