@Mod Sabre or MMG
In the voice of the community (from what I have observed).
1. Why is there GP on the squeal, people who buy spins will obliterate the ECO in the long run, there is no way a team of people can say that this wont happen.
2. Why are some rewards so out-of-proportion with the convert-to-coin option? Example: 20 Law runes is 9k? What the heck? then 50 seaweed is 500gp? This is ridiculous. If you are going to sell GP, why not do it right?

@ Giltydestiny - "Cool. Wished some of your answers were a little more specific though. For example "the Squeal of Fortune rewards have been carefully considered and balanced". Mind giving us some more info on the thought process behind that? It kind of looks like you're dodging the question (in my opinion)."
I’m genuinely not trying to dodge the question but rather give everyone comfort that I know first hand the team closely monitor the economy and crucially the balance and effect of Squeal.
To put this into context the amount of gold that does come into game from a player winning the GP prizes is tens of thousand times less than that generated and introduced by Gold Farmers, naturally we are working hard at stamping them out of our game as you will all see next week. More on this to follow on the live Q&A Sunday :)

@ Gabumon - "Will the bots usernames be up for grabs, as the other day i saw the username "thato" on a bot the other day, and that is a freaking epic name, so will they become free?
that the question many of us will ask, as it really useful ^.^ "
We will talk about this more on Sunday I'm sure but Yes their accounts will be permanently deleted if they continue to bot so their names would be free again.

25. Can we expect to see more player suggested microtransactions that provide exclusive items, clothing, hair, re-skins, etc? (Append_Miku – RSOF)
"Daniel: I think that would be really cool. Obviously we’ve wanted to be a little sensitive with microtransactions and I think going in there and asking for suggestions is not something we’ve done particularly forcefully so far, but I think it’s a really cool idea and that we should do it.
Paul: Guaranteed content polls have gone down really well in the past, and we should do that. It’s a great suggestion."
Edit:
I think it was Mark Gerhard who replied:
"Having players tailor or guarantee content that goes in from player feedback; we should do that its a great suggestion, thank you."

Woooo! Glad you guys loved my question :3 Looking forward for that guaranteed content poll and I hope you guys will implement our suggestions soon.
