No one's saying supernicks or the bank won't be changed, as supernicks has already been remade and is probably 10x better than before. Granted I liked the different themed spar arenas, but few people ever used them, and the new one is all automated and stuff so it's pretty cool.

I don't know what the plans are for the bank/economy, but really...what can you do with a bank? You sit down and idle, or you deposit/withdraw money. If you want to add a bunch of other stuff, then its not really just a bank. Some things need to be simple and to the point, while others can be more extravagant. I haven't looked in a while, but I think the loveshack or w/e is gone, not sure about Angel Clan, lvl 14 hasn't changed much. I don't know what you expect or want out of these places, but not all places need to be revamped if they're doing their job.

As for the farming/economy stuff, no one is going to do anything if it doesn't benefit them. I was never a fan of having millions of graalats in bank accounts, nor having people sit on piles of hundreds of tickets. I don't know exactly what we plan on having people able to buy, but I hope that GC prizes will be worth it this time. I've always had the idea of having a limit on the number of money, such as only having 500 tickets (for example,) in circulation. If we had enough worthy prizes, people would try their best to win/purchase/deal for tickets and purchase the prize(s) they wanted. Then the tickets would go into a 'treasure chest' in GC studios that the GCs would then withdraw from and give out to event winners. Basically it'd be a cycle of giving out tickets, gathering tickets, then spending tickets. The biggest issue I've found is having people win tickets and then not spend them, thereby shrinking the ticket supply. Also I don't know how this would work with trials, who obviously couldn't keep them but would want to play events regardless. So obviously this idea has a lot of work before it would be acceptable, and honestly it was just an idea I had probably a year ago. I even recall having a provision about reclaiming tickets from people who were gone for several weeks in order to keep the tickets flowing.

Just some of my thoughts while also watching TV.
