Yes, of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about, I've only been around here for years, I guess you've got me there.

In all seriousness, the current "balance" is that diamonds stay more or less at their fixed rate, people use them as a substitute for currency, and things continue on at their normal pace. It is in my own opinion that the scarcity of event coins is part of what keeps the economy moving. There is already a way to get ECs from diamonds, and that is by trading with other players.

Also, the high prices in the EC shop are what is commonly known as a timesink. Things are hard to get, and they require many hours of playing and work, because it keeps people busy. It's not like Graal is the first online game to do this. (Raiding late game dungeons in a certain game about a certain World, or spending ridiculous amounts of gold on fancy looking armor in a game about guilds and wars are some examples off hand)

Give everyone an easy way to get what they want, and it'll just amplify the fact that there is really not much to do around GK.
