I guess part of me is upset because I saw this coming and I was going to sell my mantises last night because of it, but I decided against it. Obviously I made the wrong decision, but it's not a huge deal.

Mantises were spawning out of control, but players were fighting over them like crazy in all the areas, so no one really had a monopoly on them.

I don't think lowering the value is the right call. Because that screws over a lot of innocent players too (and technically everyone is innocent anyway. People were just catching bugs as they were spawning. Not the players' faults that the spawn rate was jacked). I even posted about this 2 days ago to try and grab someone's attention so this exact thing (price nerf) wouldn't happen. So yeah, I'm a little ticked off.

But other than that, I appreciate you making this thread and acknowledging and dealing with the situation. I know it's a difficult situation to deal with.
