One thing I don't like about this event is how hard it is to get a damned case.
Three contracts down (all done AFTER the case issue was fixed), six keys burning a hole in my backpack, and zero cases dropped. Grumble.
You're 3 contracts into a 3 month event. Still 20+ opportunities to get more crates
PLUS they're going to radically drop in price on the market over the next few weeks as more contracts are completed.
Rarity is what makes things valuable though, so if cases are rare, the items in them are even rarer, soooo you want to be able to get at that phat loot as soon as you can. Keys have that annoying as hell week wait before the things are tradable, so you gotta buy your keys early. (but apparently you can sell things that can't be traded on the market now? that seems dumb considering the week wait is to prevent scamming....)I just assumed cases would be rare as hell. I don't know why people bought keys all willy-nilly.
