Ok, I've done a google search and scrolled through the forums and search results for a good amount of time looking for a similar thread to pop up, because usually one already exists. I apologize if this is a redundant post and if so please point me towards the correct node. (There IS one about removing and adjusting the coins, but I'm talking about the bribes.)

I'm not saying it was a backbreaker, but bribing King Krogmo was a really big part of why I played LD, especially T1 LD, it was one of my favorite things to play last year. The bribes were really helpful in making the grind for coins less arduous and I've gotten one Bombhead Mask from it as well, unfortunately it was a Silver Mask, but I won't complain!

Right now I've been playing some higher tier LD, as T1 is dead almost all of the time (this is not the point but...), and bribes just don't happen as often as they used to. Sure, it happens every now and then via the gift of a well off player whom we all thank very much. But the rewards just aren't worth it anymore. They added Sparks of Life now to compensate for the system change, but most players can get by without them. What I'm saying is that before July 30th, we had mist, and mist was a dispensable resource that we could use towards many things. Many of us used mist to just play LD all day and hope for that one fight for the Bombhead Mask. CE, or "E" as we call it now, is bought with money. No matter how you got it, via market or purchase, money was involved in it's creation. Most of us don't want to pay money or however long it takes to buy a pack of 100CE for a chance at more coins, or an extremely small chance for a Spark and an even lower chance for Masks.

I know what I'm saying is my opinion, and I respect what you have to say and build upon it. I want some form of change in this area.

-I would suggest that we can forget about bribing with CE (I'm sorry but I'm just gonna keep it's old name as it is still crystallized) and replace it with crowns. (I am unable to suggest a reasonable amount.)

-Or rather we could lower the bribe cost and make it 10 CE or 5 CE to lower the threshold. This is a roundabout number, please suggest what you think could be a reasonable amount.

-Make the Bombhead Masks (and sparks of life, but I don't really care for them) more frequent rewards in the bribe system and people would have a greater tendency towards putting in the CE for a chance at a costume hat.

These suggestions are not in sequence and are separate. Please build upon this and construct good arguments and counterpoints as well as reinforce ideas and suggest new points.
