Lockboxes prove there is an inventory management problem with this game

[Bourne_Endeavor]

As for the lockboxes themselves, the question is: Was this massive lockbox acquisition, consequence of the NM train, really intended from a dev. standpoint? They had to tweak the crystal convertion rate options for a reason. They probably didn't expect this to happen.

I suspect they assumed people would spawn their own NMs while grinding mobs, similar to how they thought Hunts would be treated. It's incredibly naive on their part, especially given they know how we treat Hunts. Alas, they tend not to focus on how the playerbase plays.
