Every other day, we hear about how normal/blue awakening gems have become ridiculously expensive & people asking for another Awakening event or increasing the frequency of it. Cinco has mentioned that it's too soon to return & that's understandable. However, I was wondering if there's another way to tackle this problem.
The biggest headache today with awakening gems is that you could easily use like 100 of them & not open a single slot. Whenever I think of this, I recall a video from @Encryptions where he uses 100 gems on a pernicious pendant & doesn't open even one slot, which is just ridiculous. With prices of the blue gems hovering around 80k these days, that's 8m in gold!

The basic Awakening elixir costs 5000 gold & opens a single slot. How about we have an elite awakening elixir which costs perhaps 10 or even 100 times as much but opens all slots? I fully agree that getting good awakes is a gamble much like how things work in a casino. However, the current implementation makes it feel more like gambling to just get into the casino!
This elite elixir would open up all the slots & people can gamble to their heart's content without having to worry about burning gems on just opening slots. Spending 80k on a blue gem wouldn't feel as insanely risky as it is today & people would be more likely to spend that kinda gold since they know that it wouldn't be a total waste. As an bonus, this elixir would be a very good gold sink throughout the year if it's made available through the store.
