But let's talk about it. Would bringing Rads back to pre October 2013 nerf levels be good for the game? The money noobs spend on radiants are now being spent on new gear and actually playing the game. Downcrafting recipes would actually make sense... I'd rather have rare 4* crystals if it mean I could have a plethora of radiants to spend crowns on.

Because far too often do I see "3 - 0 radiant runs" in CW and Vog forbid 0 rads during an FSC run.
The faux radiant buff is a joke. News flash: rads are still rare on 25 and uncommon on 26 and below.
We've been having this discussion since the problem began with many proposals.

I mean really... are there any downsides to have 5* crystals the way they should be?

Edit: Please keep discussion in the existing thread rather than starting a new one. Thanks!
