The CE price will never rise above the cost of an average t2 run. You spend roughly 70 ME or so to do a run and get what about 6k-8k i suppose. If it were to rise above that threshold then people would be unable to play essentially, at least on a continual basis. Thus if people were only able to do one run a day on their mist tanks many people would stop playing. Currently the CE price is bad but you can still make a small profit on average for every run. It seems people are just complaining because they aren't making as much profit as they would like from their runs. Well that's just the way it is, as long as you are still making even 100 CR profit off the run it is still profit.

Essentially this is still a free game, it just requires a lot of time to really do anything anymore. Those who do not want to spend this time should probably find another game to play. Having more mist energy each day would cause more people to rethink purchasing CE because now they can play more on free energy. Not to mention that if people could do multiple runs for free each day the cost for CE would probably rise due to the greater amount of crowns you can get for free. Not to mention the biggest problem which would be that giving away more energy reduces the profit that OOO makes so they would never do it.

I'm not saying the idea is bad I am just saying it would be unlikely to be implemented.

Didn't say it was very fun, just said it takes more time to do anything. Sure you are running off of the same 100 CE but you will eventually build up enough crowns in profit to purchase additional CE. My numbers here are going to be a bit off probably but just for the sake of argument.

Start off with 100 ME and you do a t2 run you make about 7k then you take that and buy 100 CE on the market for around 6800 or so. Now you have 200 CR left over and 100 CE. Now if you want to keep going you do another t2 run, lets say you spend about 70 or so CE on that run and you make another 7k. Now you have 400 cr. Not to mention that if you didn't have to revive thats extra CE that you didn't have to spend so you will build that up to.

My point is that, sure it isn't that fun to be making almost no profit and having to do runs for hours just to save up enough for crafting your gear. It wouldn't have been such a problem if the crafting costs hadn't been changed but OOO didn't want people getting their 5* gear so quickly. If you are going to play this game now you have to be willing to sink a lot of time running dungeons. That's just the way it is, it may not be fun for a lot of people, but there are other games out there. If you aren't content with the way things are then you don't have to play. I am hoping as much as everyone else that OOO does something about the energy problem but for now people just have to live with it.

CE prices can and probably will rise above 7-8k, because on average, players can earn more than that off 100CE. I for one can get 100-150cr to each CE I spend, as can many other T3 capable players. The median earnings per 100CE will be much lower, which will force most lower-tier players to play on mist for multiple days just to buy CE.

Other problem is, if you wish to progress you will NEED to buy CE, with real money or crowns; thus boycotting to force lower prices simply won't work. It would be nice to let people play more though.

Well,that's an Idea,but than that would only be available for CE,because Mist Tanks only go up to 100,and if they make a change that it's 200,that would take some time to update,and it would also take longer for people to wait for their energy.
I dislike this post.

Look, my apologies if I came off as a jerk in my post, that was not my intention. I was only trying to make a point, trust me I am as upset as everyone about the energy prices. I WANT people to play this game, old and new. I WANT people, including myself, to be able to play this game consistently and as frequently as they can. My point was that as a result of the combination crafting cost increases along with the large increase in CE prices it takes substantially more time to make any progress in this game.

I have made this point before because I have seen too many people complaining about how you can't play the game. I was just trying to say that you can still play the game in it's current condition, continuously, its just not very profitable. I care just as much about the well being of new players coming into this game as anyone else and am concerned that this game is discouraging people from playing.

To restate, I am not trying to be a jerk, just being realistic, the game has economic problems and is hard on new players, I get it. I just don't think OOO would implement this idea. Sorry if I was not clear about this before, just letting you know I'm not one of those "veteran" players that talk all high and mighty. I did not mean to come across the way that I did.
