Thanks for the update! Agree on most things but not sure about this one:

In the worst case scenario = if ZING were to go to 0, I would be at a loss but would still have my share in SWAP.HIVE to withdraw from the pool

I'm not too much of an expert or even intermediate in pools but if zing were go go to 0 or close to it, wouldn't that mean that there's barely any hive left in the pool to withdraw? Maybe @edicted can help us out :D

also another thing, we may slide the collection rewards a bit more gradually when opening becomes available rather than all rewards at once going to creatures and items based on rarities and amounts. So there may still be some additional time for vials to earn you extra zing as unopened!
