I think I speak for the majority of the SK community when saying this, the "autumn promotion" is a complete failure and letdown for everyone who plays this game. For the past 2 weeks everyone in the community has been hyping up either a wicked prize box or slumber prize box. It was something the community ACTUALLY wanted. The fact that our "community" managers didn't even listen to the community is straight disrespectful. Not to mention the fact that the autumn prize box is 3kE on the supply depot. Like what?? paying double the normal price of a prize box for a ~15% chance to make profit? That makes absolutely zero sense. The spiral knights economy depends on prize boxes that have the ability to be purchased with real currency. The greater the amount of boxes opened, the more available the items become for players. Releasing it on the depot is not only unfair to whales, but also general players. Especially before an event such as the Flash Sale, having an actual promotion where mass amounts of boxes are opened is nothing but beneficial to players.

More to my earlier point, the fact that you didn't release the prize boxes we expected/wanted was bad, and then you made them 3kE on the supply depot (which is even worse). Our community managers can't even meet the community half-way when it comes to this stuff. We get no content updates, no changes to broken weapons, and now we don't even get a fair chance at prize boxes.

Gray Havens, we literally want to give you money, but how do you expect us to do that when you can't even give us something to work with?
