Hello Spiral Knights forum,
We can all agree that this game is intensely addictive, although I've been only playing for more than a day and my total on time was more than what I remembered, but thats not the matter, I'd like to suggest fixes for a few kinks and downers for this game.
[MATERIALS MARKET]
I've not been online much long so I've not explored Spiral Knights fully, though I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a shop for materials (I'm not sure about the token shop though) and trading seems tiring when looking for materials.
Now I suggest a market for Materials, it should be similar to the Energy marketplace wherein it will show the lowest sale price available for 100 energy. It should also be user-run.
e.g You type in [Green Shards] in the Materials Market, similar to the Energy Market it should show the highest buy price and the lowest sale price. That simple.
[ME SHOP / IMPROVED ENERGY MARKET]
The energy market is very fare as I see, but what if you only need like 50 energy? What if we add an ME shop which sells ME by 10's and costing a fixed price. Although the catch is that it can ONLY GENERATE ME.
e.g You want 20 energy, you go to the ME Shop and the available thing is 10 energy costing (estimated) 300-400 Gold (Or whatever currency)
As to the material market, there's a general auction house coming.
