Hello team,

I'm fond of the new grind zone however, there are some flaws that I think need changed. Heres my list of what I think:

1. Whoever decided that the most common reward out of the golden pig king box that you get at the end of the grind was 10 million in silver needs to seriously play the game and reconsider. Thats the literal eqivilant of killing 4.5 mobs in the actual zone. The rate of getting that as a reward is insane as well. Out of 10 boxes, I got 9 10m Gold bars, and 1 100m Gold bar. Just a heads up, TRI accessories are not expensive. Sicil's necklace at TRI is worth 450 million. Don't be stingy at a place that requires you to have 790 gear score to grind. 

2. The drop rate for the crystals here is fantastic. This was a great feature to have added.

3. Why does this zone open at 3:30am in the morning EST and close on average between noon and 2pm EST.  People work 9 to 5. How do you expect people to grind here when it opens and closes at 'the' worst times for the US. It's almost as if you copied the times from EU and pasted it here.

4. The mob locations and how spread out they are bad. Very bad. We spend more time chasing mobs than killing them. 

Overall, I like the grind zone and I like the Jackpot feature, but the hours for this place are terrible, and the golden box reward rates are terrible as well. Please address this.

spot on, but i think #4 is getting resolved after this maintenance

Thanks for the summary.  I hope they make this playable for more people than just a few lucky ones.  Now that Honglim's crystal drop rates seem nerfed, we need more sources of essences.

On EU the times are the same in our timezone. I can never play it after work. Its an exclusive grind spot for no lifer, students or unemployed people with high gear score. Feels so bad. It is not like fieldboss. Fieldbosses can random spawn any time.
