Oh Wise One
I would like to throw something out to think about, and perhaps to add to the pile of thoughts on this. When the spectral stone first made its appearance, everyone was loving it. We wanted it to be a regular occurrence. Since it was so hard to get, INNO thought it was quite the valuable thing. Rather than just making it the occasional gift in an event, they decided that allowing it to be available in the MA should satisfy us. But given how valuable an item INNO believes it to be in the scheme of things, it was placed on par with diamonds for availability. With that line of thought, in order to do so, it had to share space with diamonds. Do I like it? No. We can't change it though.
I also would like to make a suggestion. When we ask for things of the developers, we need to include in our discussions how they would possibly see the value of the item in the game. Then perhaps, we should discuss how our suggestion of what we want would impact the difficulty level of the game so that we could more likely see the consequences of our requests. INNO seems pretty determined that the difficulty level of the game isn't going to go down and may even (probably) increase. We need to keep this in mind. This game is not like any other, and that is part of the draw for many of us.
I agree they may be herding us in a way towards the spire. Diamonds are used there and are the greatest source of income for INNO in this game.
INNO exists to make money. Never forget that. They have a cunning way of doing it but like any business, without it they are doomed.
