This is my opinion on this matter:
I vote yes. This is because without the normal auto-ers there, while being quite lazy and not going to Aurora Coat, but prefer to be more money-efficient, really do have an impact on the game. With the auto-ers there anymore, all normal aragonite prices have jumped tremendously, going from an average of 50-1g each to 1-3g each. This being said, some people thought it would be smart to up the super aragonite prices as well because of the normal aragonite pricing. All 1-3g aragonites are now 5-10g! All because of a little ban, this has happened. Blade, you did mention the increased refining rates, but it now costs even more to make a +5/+5 than when the prices were lower just because of the increased aragonite prices! I really hope to see this back to normal, or even better, just having an "Aragonite Seller" in each town square, to sell all aragonites at fixed prices.
