Hello,
AS PixelCraft, you need to decide what is the desired direction with Aavegotchi in the future: you want a crypto game where you want people to invest, have ROI, speculate on the price, commit large resources of money into the game assets – basically to have a functional crypto economy.
OR you, want a game where everyone can join and there is zero investment required to play. YOU cannot have them both (if the entry for the game is zero or close to zero, the value of the investment is basically nullified).
The point where we are now is this: people invested money, time and brains into the ecosystem, and the alchemica price going down is basic ROI from the ones that invested money. RF is the same. Investors would be stupid not to extract some ROI if during the last weeks and months was: how to nerf this, how to nerf that, how to make the game more accessible to everyone.
Slashing RF / alchemica is messing up big time with the ones that are most invested - and their original investment keeps lights up at PixelCraft.
You did not want VC, but getting the funding from the above is same as VC, just another version of VC with less VC control, as the VC is the DAO (anyways, I digress).
Please make up your mind about what is direction with the game. Because I don t see a clear direction where items / gotchies and other assets are anyway meaningful in the future, from the perspective of the investment (making a gotchi run faster in the verse is not helping “return of investment” wise. making a gotchi run faster in the verse and there are more chances to gather more alchemica because of that, that is helping).
Getting back to the discussion at hand, slashing alchemica won’t help with the prices, it will just kill the economy even more by slowing it down and there s gonna be the side-effect of dumping (alot of it), gotchies and lands become more and more worthless with this move because less utility. If you try to better an indicator without any underlying support, you ll mess up other indicator. Imagine slashing down inflation, like Jerome tries to do and you end up slashing the economy, leading to a recession and huge unemployment.
At this moment, I 'd focus more on the carrots sitting in the basket, like Forge + RF + PvP (and maybe, if gods are good, no more bears and we can have more Item Releases | Gotchies | etc, to replenish the basket.) Sitting with an idle huge basket of carrots is the worst move from the possible moves ever. what are you waiting, another bull market to put more things in the basket? The carrots need to be used in harsh times.
Lots of discussions nowadays on symptoms and how to fix them, but nobody wants to attack the real cause. Like I said above, lack of clarity on where things are going is the worst cause for where we are now. And maybe bearz, bearz always bad.
Thank you for reading this, here is a carrot for you 
It could at least carry us for a while without further inflating the circulating supply. I could see a little push back being that it came partly from parcels but imo once it becomes designated “spillage” it was no longer “owned” 
so we should be good.
