I don't really like the design, but it's good that this could possibly be another money maker. I think what sparked their idea and I'm purely going off of my own assumtion, is the popularity of treasure trails that is happening in rs07 at the moment as a money maker and they might of wanted to bring back a similar idea as well as get people using some content that was dying a bit. I'm rambling anyway, but as a last thought, I think it might of been alright if you just had to do treasure trails, and maybe lvl 2 or higher clues had a decent chance of giving you a key.
That may have been part of it. But there was an rsof thread some time ago where they were asking for feedback on the crystal keys and how to make it better, and the replies mostly said make them untradeable/more rare and that they have nothing unique anymore since there are other ways to get dragonstones. All things they seem to have taken into account with this update.
