Hey . . . You've proably seen me in game, mostly at the Auction House,
Also i'm that knight who's always doing PVP with bad equipment,
But I have some ideas that I personally want to happen:

#1 - Buying CE With any amount of CR.
Energy is always giving me A bad time, without it, I Can only do PVP, auction house and trading,
in hopes of getting at least 10 CE, But I have an idea to conquer this problem in some cases:
We should be able to buy at least 1 CE for every 200CR We're willing to spend,
It seems legit because if you aren't willing to spend around 6,800+ CR for 100CE,
Then you should be able to get much lower amounts of CE For those who are poor on CR but need CE.

#2: Improved stability with GPUs with insanely fast Overclocked Video RAM.
My specs are bad, CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 @3.0GHz, GPU is Nvidia GeForce 7300LE,
1GB RAM and A 250GB Hard Drive, And since I have an Intel motherboard (Intel DG43NB to be exact),
I Am unable to overclock my CPU, Overclocking the GPU doesn't seem to do anything,
RAM Overclocking only prevents some lag spikes in some games and makes the framerate in some games look somewhat better,
But I Am able to overclock my GPU's Video RAM successfully, All the way up to 850MHz,
While things like Gamecube/Wii and PS2 emulators run with improved framerates without stability issues,
games like Spiral Knights on the other hand, have it's graphics engine completely crash (Freeze up) after some minutes of gameplay,
The graphics are completely frozen, but the game is still running, I Hear sound effects and controls still work and everything,
So this upsets me that I have to underclock my GPU's Video RAM down to at least 820MHz and then restart the game,
because I will have used up some of my mist energy by then to start playing the game,
Plus, this means I won't be able to squeeze out as much performance as possible on my computer. . .
Please make Spiral Knights A more stable game!

If these suggestions actually get used in the game, I Will have A better time on Spiral Knights!

Buying CE With any amount of CR.
You are able to do this. It's called player trading. You give a player X Crowns in exchange for Y CE. Might want to try it sometimes.

Improved stability with GPUs with insanely fast Overclocked Video RAM.
That is an extremely specific problem you have there. I mean, insanely specific. Like, detailing the molecular structure of your bread - specific. Chances are that you are only part of a handful of people suffering from this problem. But that's besides the point, the point being that you have overclocked your GPU and expect Three Rings to alter the game just so that you won't have to experience the horror of... of... Actually, what happens if you try to play Spiral Knights without overclocking?

I Never took consideration about the trading,
But some players are going to be annoyed by trading, I've once met A player who didn't like the trading system.

As for the "instability with GPUs with video RAM that is overclocked too much" suggestion,
This graphics freezing glitch annoys me, So I wanted Three Rings to fix the instability issue,
But if I don't overclock, Spiral Knights will run at an even worse framerate than what it already does with even with my GPU's video RAM overclocked (Not too much though), I Already get lag spiked enough in co-op related situations, so at default clock speed, I Can't imagine how bad it'll be,
So I overclock the GPU's video RAM to it's highest stable speed in ANY Game or console emulator I have, 850MHz,
to get as much performance as possible,
but Spiral Knights refuses to run when I do this, stopping all the graphics at A random time but not the gameplay itself.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Are any of your emulators written in Java? While I'm no brain when it comes to Java, it's possible that Java (the underlying foundation or "Programming Language" if you understand that) doesn't like to be overclocked. Would it be possible to try another Java game and overclock it? Java is a little more resource intensive than other languages, so maybe that's the problem.

Before you say "Why can't they use something other than Java?", I'll tell you right now that saying that is the same as saying "Why don't we replace the vanilla in the cake with chocolate?" You'd have to tear everything apart and when you try to put it back together you get something which is a million times worse than it was before.

@Ghret

You die solo in the clockworks with 4kcr and 5 mist, but a 10CE rev cost. You could have the energy to revive, but you can't get it because you have to buy in 100s.

@Zack: As mentioned before, you can manually trade Crowns for Energy; just find a populated Haven and start asking to trade. However, Three Rings could also add an Energy Market that sells one point of Energy at a time for situations like the one Klipik mentioned.

YOU DON'T LIKE CHOCOLATE CAKE?!

Nope. Ever since my brother had this for his birthday and my minor chocolate allergy caused me to violently regurgitate it all half'n'hour after eating some of it, I've never been too fond of it.
