The 88 Transactions... a.k.a Make Buying Blue Essence with Trials Tokens Easier

Amumu The only thing sadder than me is Riot's loot system

Ok, don't get me wrong, I don't know how many people use the trials tokens to buy BE, but let me tell you, holy SH*T is it a hassle. I was 440 BE away from buying Zoe, so I thought alright, what the heck, I'll spend the 44 trials tokens, I don't have any of these skins, and to my delight... you can only buy 10 BE at a time. I had to buy 10 BE... 44 times... and then when I thought, "finally, now the hard part is over," low and behold... you have to redeem the BE from your loot. AND YOU CAN ONLY REDEEM UP TO 10 AT A TIME! So there I sat in anguish... redeeming 10 BE... another 44 times.

The moral to this story is that there's a clear design flaw to purchasing the BE right now that could be fixed if there were higher denominations to redeem or you could choose how much you wanted to redeem via a text-entry box. What was 88 transactions could be two transactions and allow users to spend less time in shop and more on the Rift.

That's super irksome. I'd guess the current loot system isn't setup for user stack input, but having a 1 - 5 - 10 - 25 - 50 - 100 - 250 system for both levels would definitely be an improvement.

Just add a slider to the conversion screen. This is brought up every event on the boards and still nothing happens. It’s just sad to see over and over again. I think it’s like two or three lines of script and the graphical interface. Just lazy.

I just reported this flawed system as a bug. Maybe they listen.
