This about resetting the coffer keys is a huge mistake.
Lots of the keys and especially the ones on alts were obtained through reputation rewards. If you remove those keys, these chars cannot obtain them back through rep. Instead, literally, the next day of the patch, a new alt will be able to obtain all of the rep keys you removed.

Resetting keys is absolutely the correct move, but they should probably also reset the quests for claiming keys from rep at the same time to avoid this weird issue where characters that didn’t claim them yet are at an advantage.

Yeah, I fully expected a reset honestly. I mean I’ve got 40+ keys on each of my two mains as it is. I was going to burn them on bountiful keys before the new season to use undercoins to buy those reagent boxes to sell when S2 drops. I didn’t think Blizzard would allow us to go into S2 with a billion keys to gear up even faster.
That being said, yeah they should do something about the rep keys that may potentially be lost.
I understand a reset, but my issue is the the rewards from the rep as I described.
It will have to be a new currency or if the newly leveled chars get them to have a solution for it. Imagine someone new getting them as rewards and having much easier time getting into delves against someone who was playing non-stop for the first patch.
Sure, hopefully something can be done to balance it out a bit.
We have had a long time to make use of those keys though. But if a key remains unused, could it be retained or upgraded somehow. But then that also brings up the issue of how do you differentiate between one time rep bonus keys and weekly quest keys.
Maybe they could issue one or two new keys based on rep, but I don’t know if that would make sense or be feasible.
I did just go back and double check to see if any factions had 2 coffer keys as rewards and glancing through them I only saw 1 per faction.
So if someone took none of them in S1 and was able to get 4 keys for S2, that would be an extra week’s worth at the start. After week 2 or 3, that likely wouldn’t mean much as the people truly pushing would probably have champion in most slots.
