Game is now FUBAR

Game is now FUBAR, [blessed] up beyond any repair.
With that 'smart' move with announcing recompensation before it happens and encouraging players to exploit it OOO have removed biggest crown sink. This way even more crowns will stay in game since those who have UV tickets dont have to buy them for a while.
Also it created opportunity for rich players to become even richer. And the richer rich players are, the biggest impact on game economy they can make, CE price manipulation, 1000+ offers bidblock and making sure that CE price will be just as they want.
Not to mention they announced it right before update once again favouring only players from selected timezones.

I keep telling people this but no one believes me
If you want a stable economy it will have to be run in more of a communist system

So basically the CE price can
So basically the CE price can go up till it reaches an equilibrium with the FSC payout profit, people will rage about everything, there's a need for more Crown sinks, and the CE market is still manipulated by P2P people.
Quite frankly I see little to no change from a few months ago in that aspect.

sure, because Cuba is doing so well these days :P
I can only see it as this: After Three-Rings evaluated the overall usage of the things they did end up adjusting, I would be willing to bet it was because they noticed an imbalance in the game created from these weapons.
Three-Rings is still a business, and as long as people are using real money to buy CE and other extras then that means they stay viable. World of Warcraft is a subscription. Spiral Knights is a pay as you go. :) If they tip the SK economy in one direction or another it is certainly to favor them, because otherwise they wouldn't get paid.

"sure, because Cuba is doing so well these days :P" The communistic system is not flawed. Those who are choosen to run it are flawed. If people running it would care for the good of country on first place not for their own good it would be all diffrent. Unfortunatly it would require a perfect human being and its impossible. Just a side note.

Almost every update does this. Why are you upset?

Nah
This game isn't going that bad. If you see, all that feedback we provided, so many responses from devs, and we just got moar boxes! Clearly, OOO cares so much about the game it can't go wrong at all!

Game is fine, administration
Game is fine, administration is pretty bad. There's two things to do in the endgame: acquire accessories, acquire UVs. The Nemesis boxes destroyed the first, the lifetime subscriptions to Punch destroyed the second.

^Exaggeration.
1) Volc wings, for example, still go for 350kcr and up now, and they'll only rise. It isn't like most players can just snap their fingers and get whatever accs they'd like.
2) Punch me a triple max or two if UV tickets have made UV acquisition so trivial.
Don't get me wrong, I thought the Nem promo implementation wasn't great, and the recent bomb thing was a total disaster. But the long-term consequences for most players will be minor.

@Asukalan
LoL yes I jest, and I understand the Communist manifesto and many of Carl Marx's theories. I am also aware that one primary reason why communism seems to fail in many countries is due to the failure of leadership or outside influences. While the concept of communism does indeed sound rather good on paper, Communist ideals simply will not work in SK no matter where you try to put them... It is based in a Capitalist system down to it's foundation. Just one of many examples: Should an FSC run or any other tier 3 run for that matter give you the same amount of crowns as a tier 1 run?
NO! your FUBAR!
but really, for a rare P2P like me, should i be worried?
