Ohboy said: There's no way they're not going to force convert the duplicates before implementing the new duplicate system.That's just blatantly unfair.
Ohboy said: They explicitly said there was no plans for duplicates other than runes. It's amazing how optimistic your reading of that statement is. This is what was said Hibernum_JC wrote:We do not currently have plans for additional things Duplicate cards can be used for, but this does not mean it will never happen. If you want to keep your duplicates for any reason, you can do so, and for this reason we haven't implemented an automatic conversion into Runes.A cover-my-**** statement like "does not mean it will never happen" is not "been suggesting that there mght be some use for duplicates since the start of the game". Taking your argument of "they said this therefore we must make decisions based on what was revealed to us", a stronger case can be made that all players should have converted and it's unfair to those who read the statement properly if those who misinterpreted are rewarded instead.

wink said: They really shouldn't auto-convert dupes as one of the official sources (I think it was @Brigby) recently actively advised us to hold on to dupes because a method of using dupes for some useful purpose was on the way (in the next "few" months).

First of all, thanks for not bothering to link to your source. After a bit of searching, I found that JC quote referenced in this thread, dated April 2016. Interestingly enough, while I was searching, I found this thread as well, also dated April 2016: Hibernum_JC said: I'll say this - we are actively listening to all your comments about duplicates and will seriously take them into consideration for the future. This doesn't mean we'll actually do a system like Hearthstone's dust system, but we are really taking these comments to heart. So... maybe my reading wasn't quite so optimistic as you're implying? Perhaps there are some grounds for me believing that it's possible that duplicates might mean something?The cherry picking you do on your data does get very tiresome sometimes.I'll tell you whats unfair: getting a game crash or being locked out of your account during an event and not winning Dynavolt Tower as a result. Players actually earning in game commodities through their own time and effort and spending them in a manner of their choosing, that's not unfair at all.

Could you post a link to said advice?
Because he said "Mythic or lower rarity", I thought he was talking about dupes in general and not dupes in Elite Packs since you can't get lower than mythic in an Elite Pack. But a more careful reading of it, and later posts in the thread indicate he probably meant only in Elite Packs.
But you can see how wishful thinking would make me see that as advice to hold on to all dupes, right?

I'll just use the quote you supplied and even your interpretation of it is hopelessly optimistic. Nowhere does it say they will do or even consider a crafting system or any use of dupes other than runes.

Brigby said: 1) The team is currently developing a system that addresses duplicates, in order to give them more value than just converting into runes. You can expect this to be implemented within the next couple of months.

I'll just use the quote you supplied and even your interpretation of it is hopelessly optimistic. Nowhere does it say they will do or even consider a crafting system or any use of dupes other than runes. Really. So you're saying that what JC was really saying was 'We're listening to your feedback, but we guarantee that we'll never do anything about it. Keep submitting it tho because we like the sound of your mouths flapping up and down'.What about this quote, then, which I've posted on the forums a couple of times recently: Brigby said: 1) The team is currently developing a system that addresses duplicates, in order to give them more value than just converting into runes. You can expect this to be implemented within the next couple of months. It does seem rather that an interpretation of that comment as a system which gives your duplicates more value than just converting them into runes is quite justified, isn't it?I put it to you, sir, that your argument merely boils down to 'You have some things, I don't have some things, I don't like that you have things, and I want those things taken away from you'.@Brigby If probably looks like me and OhBoy are getting quite personal here, but you have to remember the important psychological warfare that is going on under the surface: both of us are trying to imply that our reading of the prior statements of D3/Hibernum team are the most obvious one, and that anyone trying to make up their own mind rather than just agreeing with us is just wasting their time. To that end, I'd see it as a personal favour if you didn't do your usual thing and delete all my posts and leave his intact.
