Had a simple thought about this suggestion which in no way can jeopardize the game or the economy in any form whatsoever, so hear it out.

Many of use have busy lives, jobs, school and learning or other dedications, and at times we might not even get to touch Spiral Knights for a day or maybe a few, now in a game like this where energy is everything it is quite a shame when that daily 100 free Mist Energy doesn't get touched at all in a day it goes to waste....and so heres an idea.

How about a system where if you dont even touch your Mist Energy for a whole day and it remains at 100 ME for 24hrs it it generates a messily and harmless 10 CE into your CE tank.

So in other words you dont play the game for 5 days, hey there will be 50CE there plus your 100 ME, just enough to craft a single *2 item, no harm there. And with such a small amount it cant harm the CE economy whatsoever and it cant be abused, cause you'd have to wait 10 days to sell 100 CE, big whoop thats in no way profitable.

But its a good incentive for us people who have busy lives, to keep us coming back whenever we can.

Thanks for reading.

Nope

never going to happen, that just means joe bob creates and alt account he never plays to fuel his main with CE.

More excuses to never buy CE

So Joe Bob make an alt

So Joe Bob makes an alt account, that would take 5+ days to even generate anything useful, I dont see how that would would make him forever independent from buying CE or have any major effect on the game and its economy.

Now if Joe Bob had 10 alt accounts that would be different but then Joe Bob would need to have 10 PCs to pull that off....

So really your point is a little moot here.

Never underestimate the power of alts

Joe Bob makes 20 accounts, puts 2 dollars in each to make them have separate mist tanks if necessary.

I think you can see where this is going.

Joe bob can make 30 accounts

Joe bob can make 30 accounts with 10 PCs.... it doesn't even need to be physically different PCs either.

Ultimately we've still come

Ultimately we've still come back to a scenario that would allow people to generate CE in a means that doesn't involve a cash purchase at some point. AKA decreasing the amount of CE purchased directly from Three Rings and hurting their profits.

We already see temporary things like the cut price lift costs but these are small events to lure in the players. I would never expect to see any long term thing along these lines unless SK was switched over to a subscription style service or something similar.
