REMOVE THE KEYS COMPLETELY

If you are still here, hear me out, this isn't just some thread to stop the update.

What I am proposing here is to think about just dropping the key idea, but perhaps have the gates require a significant amount of energy that can be split between the party members.

That could possibly keep the market balanced as people will not need to buy absurd amounts from other players.

Well thats what little I have, please tell me whether I'm FoS or onto a good idea.

BETTER YET if you think it is good. Expand on it please. If you think its bad, then by all means revise it.

Just buying 750CE for a CHANCE or a key seems to farfeetched for me.
I would guess the price will be 20E.
But the keys need some significants. Maybe you need just ONE key to unlock limitless entrance to a single lair.

thoughts?

Or...

Or they could add lair specific keys that cost boss tokens-

10 Almarian Seals for a Key to Vanaduke's Shadow lair,
10 Jelly Gems for a Key to the Ice Queen's Shadow Lair, and so on.

And buff the number of uses a regular Shadow Key (from lockboxes) has, and make it able to open any lair.

Honestly, I am disappointed. at first instance and the price of silver keys seemed to me ridiculously expensive. Now with this update confirms my thesis, the root of the problem if the price of silver key, so I propose the following as a magic solution.
1 .- Silver Keys ridiculously cheap (2000cr at most).
2 .- Reduce the cost of elevators in half
3 .- Increase the appearance of lockbox expotencialmente based on the floor is lowered.

Proposals may seem ridiculous but thinking as an entrepreneur (read carefully OOO) proved necessary not lead to a bankruptcy:
1 .- popularity would increase explosively. Do not forget the references.
2 .- It would increase the purchase of EC for having more users. Since concideración that one reason to buy is to save time, which could be used to collect objects.
3 .- would improve the relationship between OOO and users.

They can laugh all right to these proposals, as if they are heard and acted probably be shocked amazement.
Finally, the simplest solution is to remove the keys, so Vescrit fully support.

One problem with that

One problem with that idea....

1. It would flood the market with overly cheap accessories
2. Why are elevators even a part of this subject?
3. I can't understand what your saying... literally can't tell if your saying making appear more often or less
4. It wouldn't put a dent in the current CE market, which is important since this was supposed to be a CE sink.
5. You have all this content flooding the markets, but no increase in CE flowing into the game.

I'm not saying the price is perfect... I actually agree that they are too expensive in the current setup, or at the very least add an alternative method with a price tag attached, but making them dirt cheap only creates the exact opposite problem of worthless commodities. Accessories would be as valuable as materials.... which is almost nothing at this point.
