1.At 10k per hundred fewer people will profit running dungeons, lowering CE usage

2.This would limit how many people will be able to sustain their dungeon crawling soley off of the revenue earned.

3.Fewer people will play, innability to profit off runs will frustrate players who will then quit. Those people might also direct people away from SK by criticizing it to their friends, negative online reviews, etc.

4.They will make less revenue, fewer new players means fewer people buying energy with cash. Fewer people to sell energy to for crowns also means fewer people buying energy.

5.There is very little use for crowns, everything revolves around energy. Because of this, the crown is a weak form of currency (little ingame gurantee of goods or services, and since high end equipment is aquired by upgrading already leveled equipment, players have little use for crowns as a currency to trade among each other), and energy is a strong form of currency (necessary to run dungeons, significant amounts needed to craft which is how we reach endgame because of equipment being bound to us, weapon slots, trinket slots).

OOO needs to implement ingame features that give the crown some value. Hopefully one of the goblins (if not both) in the bazaar Nick has alluded to in the thread in general will be offering an equipment unbinding feature. Hopefully the currency it accepts for this service will be crowns. This gives players a guranteed ingame incentive to amass crowns. This would serve to take crowns out of the game (making them more valuable because there is a new use for them as well as at least slowing the rate the amount of crowns entering the game each day). With a newfound desire for crowns people will perhaps be willing to accept fewer crowns per energy. With a whole slew of tier 4 and 5 equipment being unbound, people will rush to put them in the auction house, which deals exclusively in crowns. People will likely charge a considerable minimum bid on these items to recoup the unbinding cost, as well as the cost of crafting. People that want to buy the newly tradeable high end gear will start selling energy on the market (perhaps to the point of dumping it). If they have neither the crowns nor the energy, they will be more inclined to whip out their credit cards to buy energy to sell for quick crowns. Other things that deal exclusively in crowns can also be implemented, such as the often suggested pvp type contests that charge entry fees.

I also believe market abuse is at the very least contributing to the current current weak currency vs strong currency exchange rate. I wouldn't be so inclined to altar or get rid of the market, but rather disallow abuse keep track of abuse practices (including keeping an ear to the ground for new abuse systems, since anything that is done to combat abusers will force abusers to find a work around) and take action against those abusing the market.

IF IT IS CALLED A STARTER BACK AT THE BEGIN OF THE GAME U should get 1 for free Starter pack is it name well Why do they call it that They Should Call It Bonus Pack.No enegry i say it would be good it draing money out of people wallets just for fun really At least should be a month trial to help so
people know what CE can do.I would say lower the prices before less and less poeple play the game and if ur still gona raise the prices AT LEAST MAKE IT WORTH IT MAKE THE GAME BETTER AND BIGGER AND GIVE MORE CE FOR THE PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only way OOO would pay any attention to the CE market in that way would be if a majority of the player base stopped purchasing CE. This is obviously never going to happen being that many people are fine with just paying the current prices. Not to mention there are still, I assume, a large number of players willing to purchase CE with cash so the prices don't affect them. Overall, players are the ones who affect the CE prices, and not enough players think that the energy market is a problem so therefore it won't be changed. The only way that OOO will consider it is once CE prices reach past the point where people cannot get their energy back with a typical dungeon run.
