We need some kind of a catch up mechanism for crests. I really like playing alts, but man, I can only run so many keys in a week, and I am so, so far behind on my alts, to the point that I really can’t use the crafting or upgrade system for want of crests.
In the first few weeks of a patch, I recognize that it would be problematic to have this kind of a system (potentially), since you don’t want this to benefit mains in any way. But I feel like there has to be some way to make this move quicker as time goes by. My theory has been to just increase the number of crest fragments that drop at a time if you’re under the cap for the previous week. I think you could do that from week 2 on without any real problem.
I’m not talking about toons I don’t really play either. My best geared alt has had every portal since week 3, but its just the sheer volume of required keys to keep pace that is so challenging.
