Personally, I think more opportunities to earn ec should be introduced. Era doesn't have any main objectives so why make this one part of it difficult? The server doesn't profit at all from ec. And with the upcoming release of delteria on the ios and android platforms, era is going to be a ghost town if it doesn't mold to the players wants in a game. Some of us want to earn ec legit and some of us don't, but it doesn't mean that if ec become easier to get that you'll have to get them the easy way. Best option is to make ec easier to obtain, and leave the methods of obtaining up to the players.
