So.. like.. I've been really itchy down by my.. SIKE, not those kind of crabs!


Lol, lame joke, ik. Story of my life.


Back on point, is there any way that you guys could lower the spawning rate of crabs. There are times when I'll literally get 3 crabs in a row, then one or two more like ten seconds later. It's getting to be where 15 crabs will spawn over the course of a couple minutes, which is ridiculous. I know that the only reason it's that way is so we're driven to go out and spend money on an iTunes card, or charge gralats to a credit card account, rather than working for them, 'cause you guys don't generate income that way, but cut us some slack, please. It's pretty bad when I could go out into the real world and make money for gralats faster than it'd take me to work for them on Era. Now, I understand that the game needs money to survive, I COMPLETELY understand that, and I'm all for cash being made off this wonderful, wonderful game. But what you've got to understand is that not everyone can afford to go out and buy iTunes whenever they need something, some people don't even have access to credit or iTunes cards, some people have lives outside of video games, and can't spend hours of their lives WORKING ON A GAME (that just sounds so backwards, doesn't it). Seriously, some people (in most cases, their parents) have bills to pay, children to feed, clothe, and stuff, and, to be honest, $15, $25 is a lot of money to some people. That's getting to work tomorrow, having food to eat until their next paycheck, or something similar. I mean, sure, some of you (your parents) have a lot of money, and you can afford to spend $60 - $75 on auction items or OP guns, some of you have the luxury of not having to sit and spend hours of your lives, go without sleep, and stuff just to acquire the items you desire, but some of us don't, and.. I guess what I'm wanting is for you to show a little heart to us. I'm not asking for a huge bump in the amount of shells we get per shovel, cheaper items, or anything really (I should be though).. just that we have a few less crabs to deal with in all the hours that we put into working for virtual currency.

Now, I know some of you are probably going to disagree with me, tell me there are other methods of making gralats that are a bit less of a nuisance (I wanna dig.. gosh! lol), and offer excuses as to why the rate is set at what it's at (in the end, it's all about money, stimulation for people to go out and spend, rather than work for gralats), which is cool, 'cause.. at the end of the day, these are just my opinions. Say what you want - I'm just here for the people that feel the same as I do. If you guys are bosses at shelling and make tons of money from it, great, kindly share your methods. If you guys can afford iTunes all the time, and don't have to worry about this kind of stuff, this post won't mean anything to you.

I guess.. I just thought I'd give getting a few less crabs to spawn a shot. Crucify me for it.

Sorry for any grammatical errors, if I came off as a complete idiot, or whatever. I tend to do that quite often. No big deal. Have a nice day, guys. :)

Random cuteness. :3

Why mad?
More crabs = more $$$

In my opinion - yeah , crabs are quite annoying , they make you pause for awhile and go onto your inventory(if you don't have weaps hotbarred) to find your gun / melee.then if you have no revive , you have to run back to you digging spot to make sure noobs dont grab ur hard earned shells.

There are a lot of crabs spawn, but crabs also creates money, if you personally are in want for shells for money, there are other jobs you can do.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but honestly, I like the crabs. It's a way for me to get money without buying a shovel or worked very hard.

Didn't he said that he preffered digging?

1/8 Crabs release a crab shell after they are killed.

Theres more crabs in era than paris hiltons crotch.

There is mining which is good, but not as quick and tedious.

Digging is definetly bad now..

I think your forgetting this is a business, all businesses have bills to pay so without people buying packs the game would shut down.

Did anyone not read what this man said? He knows the buissness needs money but skrew that buisness ive spent at LEAST 2000$ easy and i woudnt mind them giveing us a brake its freakin ridiculus how hard it is to shell now adays, i remember back in the day when you could shell 5k in like a hour now in a hour you get 500 gratlets like WTF? I dont have time to sit there all day -.-

i used to dig for 70 hours total and get 65k. now, i only get like 40k

Graal is a epic game with little funds and little players and most staff are volunters unpaid so cut them some slack they need the funds :P

crabs annoy the fxck outta me!

you spent $2000 on graal????????????????????????????????????????????? if you where my son, i would beat you.

Yeah, Crab spawn rates are wayyy too high. For example you can't dig up 3 shells without having 2 crabs biting your ass.
