Getting ec is harder in iera compared to era pc. Era pc host events like every minute and every event is for an ec.

Here's an idea. You get these "low value ec" items every time you win a regular bot event in iera. You can eventually exchange them for 1 actual ec. Maybe like 10 low value ec for 1 complete ec. This will get more people to join events more often and slightly less stress. The problem? Ec items become less rare. Despite this, they are slowly becoming more common.
