People on Discord are actually trying to defend the loot crates... I'd say that I should leave the server, but Discord is basically the only way to get your opinion heard by the devs (even if it's generally ignored).

I also just realized that the loot crates are worse than I remembered. I thought coins were the worst thing you could get, but then I saw that the dragons in the dragon pack were only lvl 20s. I know lvl 100 dragons aren't uncommon in events, but they are much more difficult to farm when you need them. For example, I'm in the situation where I had a bunch 5* slice girls to evolve, and after all my event/whale shop dragons were used, I still have 12 slice girls left to evolve.
