Should we be able to buy CC with EC?

Ok.
I have thoughs like this with lots of games.
This one, i thought, maybe we should be able to buy CC with our EC.
So how it would work is, 5$ for 500 CC, = 50,00 EC for 500 CC
10$ for 10,00 CC = 100,00 EC
15$ for 15,00 CC = 150,00 EC
25$ for 25,00 CC = 250,00 EC
50$ for 50,00 CC = 500.00 EC
What do you think?

@Teddy267

100 CC = 1mil EC. [1,000,000 EC]

Your conversion rate is flawed, just wanted to point that out. 😋

As much as I would love LOVE this idea, EggCave does need money to run servers and CC is EggCave's main profit. A different site almost shut down due to being unable to run it's servers! ☹️ Servers cost A LOT. Don't want EggCave to get shut down, do we now? D: I know the "shut down" thing is a little outrageous, but it can happen and EggCave could lose a lot of profit.

Although:

If we upped the prices by A LOT, say the buying price would be 100 CC = 5mil EC, this actually could work. This could ultimately make some older users more active and active users even more active because they have a motive to earn EC.

ya. being shut down was one of my concerns...
but ya, i like the idea for boosting it up to 5,000,000, because EC is pretty easy to get, too.
Thanks for replying!

@teddy267 Honestly, I don't quite support the idea. o: I mean, I know CC is great and all, but that's the site's main reason for trading (trade centers and item trades). o: I dunno man.. o: Sorry to shut you down or anything, but some people do trade EC for CC already. 😋

If it would be allowed (which I doubt), those exchange rates are way too low, to the point it'd make buying CC with real money pointless.

Its a good concept, buy eggcave will lose most of its profit
