This is probably one of the key components for energy
if it never charged you you'd have too much lying around
after all you aren't crafting all the time. If you ask me it's a pretty solid system.

if you still have a problem, Deal with it.

While perhaps there should be some modification for how much energy this takes (other threads), I must say we should keep this. If it wasn't for this, I'd probably just go through dungeons for days at a time, probably not even bothering to craft much, just killing and making crowns for free. That seems great but would be way too easy.

Its not one of the key components, I can agree with say 10 to enter, and then you have raises, gates, mechs, etc that cost. With the current system if your not paying, you get what . . . 1 hour a day of play time? . . . maybe?

Sounds great, with that I will lose interest in a few sessions. Then again with the attitude of 'if you still have a problem, Deal with it' maybe that isn't such a bad thing. Bad attitudes, great environment for playing!

You make the most out of your energy, you don't waste it on stuff like knights if you don't need to. You do a full tier, you should still have some energy to spare, enough to get started on another tier run. Meanwhile, you use the crowns you gained from that tier run to buy Crystal energy. You don't have to PAY to make use of that, make use of others who have paid for you. In the future this may not be possible but right now the prices are decent enough for you to pull a profit.

If you're in a guild or have a lot of friends, try this as well, if you see someone on the latter half of a tier, if they have space join them, because those levels tend to be more profitable than working down alone (unless you skipped an arena or something). This saves energy because you're skipping to the good stuff. I wouldn't advice trying to go to join a party and hoping for this same luck as you'll probably end up on the first levels and worse, possibly in the middle or near the end of a level meaning you wasted 10 energy for low reward/nothing.

And everything I'm writing, this is just stuff you can do in tier 1 easily.

Now imagine this with only an entrance cost, or perhaps none at all. In just tier 1, I could pay 10 energy to run 2000 (more like 3000 really) crowns. Then I could do it again? And again? And again? That's 8000 minimum crowns for just 40 energy? That's broken.
