Farming for Chrovium is painful.
So why not have a weekend-event every now and then in the early days of the release, which will double the energy cost for each farming/mining action but also doubles the rewards?
That'd give those like me, who don't enjoy farming too much an opportunity to grind for those high quality drone upgrades etc..
And generally an incentive to spend some time of your weekend in the world of Illuvium 
While we're at it, we could additionally sprinkle some exp bonus % for lvling Illuviums into the event.
