using "Lore" as "Get Out of Jail Free card"

Is there a way we can complain to the slimes? e.g removing our 'business'/not going to the casino until they change things in the direction we want them to (not being a scam)? I would do that if there was a global progress bar or something to encourage people to do so.

I'm sure some people have tried going to the slime king and threatening him into changing the casino laws, but that doesn't work either, I feel like there's a puppet pulling strings that he can't override, whoever that puppet is I think we have some complaints for them.

Also: Slimes seem kind of tight with their money these days, I search through the casinos I find and not once do I ever find any slime coins on the floor, or a paid-for but unspun machine (i.e free spin)

@Solo-Cub according to the lore, Jelly king is ded cause he died by knights

So it's a random occurence that I go spend 50 slime coins and only spins once... Ok... because Slimey Business are run by Slimey Subjects...

Tell the Spiral Quarter explosive development Department that buff the Mad Bomber and the Mercurial Demo set, or I'll pack the Suspension "Bridge" of Disbelieve with enough Voltaic Tempest, Venom Veiler, Ash of Agni, Torpor Tantrum, Big Angry Bomb, Shocking Salt Bomb, Dark Briar Barrage and Dark Retribution to Blast the Network to the point they'll Believe that Apocrea is Nicer than the Waste-Land I'll create!

Also tell the spiral Quarter that when a team, I'm sure there are teams investigating the Clockworks notice a Movement like the Casino, Apocrea, Kataclismic, Tortodrone March, either investigate or ask US to investigate, a couple of days prior to the event hitting the elevators we could get a notice to set ready and to gear ourselves to investigate on a "mission to investigate"! and yes the Clockworks are unpredictables, but we can check what's approaching our way... when is a day ahead.

Also, also, radio silence Sucks! I don't want to know what the Spiral Quarter had for dinner but, I would like to know what are the plans and if some are getting delayed or not because how The clockworks shifts.

Cheers!

Hello there Gyre-Of-Guille! Thank you for at least chiming in and responding to things. At the very least we're now aware our posts are being read.
And that means we can proceed forward with a civil discussion in hopes of getting through.

Bear in mind I still do have the utmost respect for the developers team trying to put out new content, and I do only want what's best for this game and community that has raised me since my childhood.

That being said, I do have to be blunt and say, this response is unsatisfactory and frankly only serves to spark more outrage.

1. These posts weren't made in the form of casual feedback. The playerbase is quite a bit distraught over this change and takes it rather seriously. Simply shrugging it off and tying it to slimes' lore may be funny, but quite poorly timed right now. Please interact more on a human level than as mysterious admins for this once.
2. While it is true that slime lockbox drop rates and pools have always been secretive and discovered by players in the past, that was when the playerbase did have more faith in Grey Havens, the boxes were more objectively worthwhile, and people didn't need to second guess updates or new content being this bad or unworth their efforts.
3. " Is there really only the 00A box out there, or is there also something else? " Please do not gaslight us here. We have the statistical data on record. Players do talk and exchange data. As you said it's the joy of discovery. And the discovery has proven to be unsatisfactory and just disappointing to people. I'd say thousands of rolls is sufficient enough data to draw the conclusion, it is only 00A boxes in the wheel right now. But the issue is people dislike the drops of these boxes and wish for something more to look forward to. As Loupous had pointed out, these boxes are following the trends of prior prize boxes having only 4 color schemes of items at a time in them on rotation, and we may be able to expect a 00B box in the future with different color schemes. However this is proven to be inconsistent from the sudden volcanic slimed aura from the 00A boxes, yet no volcanic helmets or tails. Hence there was need to point out this inconsistency and request clarification.
4. " I haven't seen a 003 box drop in a long time, have you? Maybe they never will again. Maybe QQQ will never drop again. It might make you uneasy. The slimes like to keep a fresh rotation going. " Leaving it at this and as the whims of the slimes is just dismissive of the issues present in the game. It doesn't take much to notice that the game's economy is hurting. It needs more of a fix to it, not something to keep us guessing what happens next. Because on a downward trend, all we can think is "how much worse can it get?" QQQ boxes have now inflated. There's no news on whether totems drop from these boxes. Meaning their prices only inflate even more too.
5. There's no way you can convince us that sinking 10k crowns into just getting a vial is a healthy form of "higher risk slot". And high risk should translate to high reward, but the reward from this is just not at all high enough for it. Dismissing this as "things change" and that they will change again is just a poor indirect way of acknowledging that this was a mistake and might be rolled back in the future.
6. The joy of discovery comes from there actually being something to enjoy from discovery. Nobody's going to waste their money on trying to unbox these and test the waters if on the surface so far from the community's statistical data is that they're abysmal. You're just encouraging people to waste their money on a reward that likely isn't even there.
7. Can the slimes keep us on our toes by making slime keys at least useful to alleviate the issues here? Seriously, those were introduced in the days where energy was 80cr/1e. Times have changed, now silver keys are half as expensive as slime keys.
8. It's fine to be secretive about a new addition to the game, but there should be at least SOME information when you make an absolutely drastic change to a long standing system in the game. At least a heads up on these things before people sink millions of crowns to fetch data and warn others that this is not worth it and horrible.

Again, as mentioned before, we're not asking for you to leak all your upcoming developments, but we do want some sign that you're going to actually listen to what the community wants, and not just release stuff as you please and pray we accept it with unsatisfactory replies from your end.

Please try to consider the playerbase's feelings on this matter. We're hurting and just begging for some human element from your end. Not more vagueness and dismissal.
It's great that at least you tried to address things, but this seems quite unprofessional and like just swindling us all.

Take the time, discuss internally, and please return with a better response. Not more mystery and lies.

@Gyre-Of-Guile, how about a speech from developer to players with an actual good reason of why the 50x is removed and why can't you show us the box odds instead of "LORE" and "SLIMES"

I love this side of you, Gyre XD

Blink twice if the slimes are holding you hostage and forcing you to justify their actions to make our gambling addictions more painful.

@Gyre-Of-Guile

The fact that you're still here feels a lot to me like you're trying to win that 1987 super bowl. The same players, and the same game and yet...

Yeah, the new slots are higher risk, but they're basically offering the same reward, arguably lesser depending on who you ask.
