What I sent:

"Hi hi! Hope everyone's doing well, as always~

So, I have a bit of an odd request, but I feel like it's one that should at least be looked at from (at the very least) a humorous perspective. I would like to request that the next gate generation have the Aurora Isles leveled featured in the second half of each tier (Stratums 2, 4, and 6). Now, I am completely aware that users making requests for particular gates to have *insert level name here* is usually frowned upon, but I make the request solely because I'm currently running a thread on the Spiral Knights' Bazaar called the Gel Drop Emporium, which can be found here:

Within this thread, as opposed to making sales based on the current value of the items in terms of crowns or CE, instead the goal is to offer reasonably priced and/or desirable gear for something that most people write off as being insignificant - in this case, gel drops! I've run the thread on and off for about a year now, and the two major times it was available essentially "crashed" the gel drop market, to the point that it was impossible to find a gel drop for less than 500 crowns per drop.

While my reasoning for requesting this sort of thing may come across as dubious, the main reasons I am requesting this is: a) to prevent another market from tanking and b) to open up my wares to a variety of individuals who may not have decided to save their gel drops from the last time I opened this thread for longer than a few days.

To conclude, basically I feel like this is something "new" that would help give end-game players and newer players something to strive for within the game, and that having levels with moderately successful drop rates for gel drops being generated would be a win/win situation in this case. Please let me know whether or not this is possible; in the event it is NOT possible, please let me know what I can do to refine this idea (be it from OOO's standpoint or from a personal one, I really won't hold any particular suggestion to you guys and be like "OOO TOLD ME TO DO DIS" or something) [EDITOR'S NOTE: except, you know, posting the suggestion the Suggestions forum. Totally you guys' fault.]. At the end of the day, I'm all about trying to do stuff for the community, even if sometimes I'm sure I get reported for less than stellar actions."

What I was told to do:

"Greetings!

The best place is in the Suggestions forums here: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/forum/7

While we may not always post in the Suggestions forum, our staff does take the time to read them along with the discussions they spark.

We certainly appreciate the suggestions our players make, and the amount of thought you clearly put into them!"

DISCUSSION POINT

Would anyone be opposed to the idea? Aurora Isles levels are pretty fun, it gives players a reason to go back into the Clockworks despite the current heating system kind of shafting players in that regard, and ideally it does prevent a market from being bought out by merchants who'll end up reselling gel drops at a premium, which does kill the whole point of me doing this anyway.

I'm also open to questions myself about any unforeseen side effects this would cause and how we can prevent those if this is implemented.
