A specific problem I've noticed is when I save up for something big I'm always let down when I finally get it, or make it, such as the mega chest, i was saving up for this for a while, then I spent 260K coins on it which took numerous hours of grinding quests, first place after first place, and coin scrolls. Eventually I finally got it and used it, and it had garbage, and I mean garbage, 2 uncommon material crates, epic coin quest scroll, a few other lame scrolls, a few time skips, a golden chest key and that was the best stuff. That is worth maybe 30k coins, the material crates are worth nothing I basically get them for free, the coin quest is 6k coins after doing a quest which is lame considering I spent 260K on the chest, and the golden chest key is 1/3 of the way to a worse chest, amazing. The time skips are basically useless to me because I have no problem with waiting a little bit of time for a craft. The other thing is the neon keys, I have only got 1 so far and I've played more than 50 hours this season I'm betting. So, considering how rare these things are they should have good stuff right? I got a rare material crate, that shouldn't even be on the list, they are so hard to get that it should have only good stuff on the list, at least like an epic material crate because that is just lame. This unbalanced loot has definitely decreased how much I want to play this server and I think it should be fixed fast.

Treasure chests contain a random collection of items whose total coin value is roughly equal to the price of the chest (sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower). So when you're buying a chest, you have to expect to get a random selection of things. Naturally, this is only a good idea if you don't have a strong preference for what type of items you get. You clearly do: you value material crates, forge catalysts and assembler overdrives very lowly. As such, you're better off buying something else with your coins; maybe cosmetic crates or quest scrolls. As for the seasonal keys: I do agree they often feel bad for how rare they are, and they could use a bit of tweaking.
"roughly equal" does 260k ~=~ 30k? it's not just "sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower" there is a HUGE difference in price usually, and after my last post I looked at the loot tables of the chests themselves, and they are really bad, not just to me, it just feels like it's priced at way too much right now for the quality of the items. When I saw the chest I immediately wanted to buy it because of how expensive it was and how cool it looked, but I was let down, and I'm pretty sure very few people value 4 hours worth of time skips total and a rare material crate which is pretty common, over 260K coins. I have 761 coins right now and nothing notable to show for it, that NEEDS to be changed. Lastly, I did not have a strong preference whatsoever, I needed a legendary material item for my faction advancement craft, I love good cosmetics, the only thing I didn't really want is time skips, because they are useless to me.
Yeah, your chest doesn't sound very good even for someone who values the time skips. I value them significantly more than you do, and that chest still feels on the lower end. Like Pieter said, you obviously have strong preferences, and you should probably spend your money on more specific things.
