I know their is a forum for suggestions. I respect that and have posted before. However, there is so much more admin/dev feedback in general discussion that as a player of SK and someone who actively tries to improve it, it's more important to type out this message explaining it and post it here than where it belongs.

That being said, I hope that the devs do read this and consider it.

The featured auctions are absolutely great ideas, both in principal and the actual items up there. It's reduced the price of energy by making crowns relevant again (which to me, seemed to be one of the few points of the patch) and has made for a lot more cool items.

That being said, can there please be some items for the rest of us and not just the top 1% of SK users?

I said that because there are a heck of a lot more users who can't afford these than who can. I agree, some items should be expensive because of their exclusivity. But can't there be some items from 10-1mil crowns that the rest of us can afford? Sure they won't be so rare but there could still be some limited ones, there'd just be a few more.

It's kind of the idea that the rich get richer, though through items. On the positive side, those who actually spent real money on energy get rewarded, but that still neglects a huge percentage of users.

That, and what's up with an accessory being good for 30 days? That's crazy, it's an accessory. I get it with weapon slots/heat amplifiers, etc. They affect gameplay. These are cosmetic. Do not limit the use of these. That benefits few people. If you're trying to drain crowns, more affordable items takes care of that.

What's stopping the rich from

What's stopping the rich from buying multiples of the "cheaper" limited items and reselling them to us at the same crazy prices of other limited items?

Well...

@Knightrails: What stops the richest of rich buying the items there are now and reselling them at an every higher price to the other rich people?

You don't need to stop it because it will happen anyways. Look at the recipies at the Auction House. Something like a Strike is 4000 crowns at the traveling merchant, but at the Auction House it tends to go for 5500 minimum. What stops the rich people from buying some of the most popular recipes and reselling them at the Auction House? Oh right, nothing.

And I personally, as someone running around Tier 2 would love to get my hands on some costume bits, but at over 20k for the ones I like, I'm probably never going to get my hands on one (At least not any time soon).

Rich people can buy whatever

Rich people can buy whatever they want.

But the majority of people don't even have a chance right now.

There's a lot more people that can afford something at 20k than 1.5million.

There would always be the economic lower class. We tend to be the lowest and have the least money, but those richer guys worked/bought for it. We should too if we want the stuff. And yes, why not get something that's able to go to the poorer side? Maybe something weak and insignificant would do the trick! -_-
