Yeah, they aren't incredibly useful unless you work with pistons, or potions. And I bet there are a lot of users that don't do either. This is a good price for them. Slimes are relatively harmless, so there's no risk in getting the slimeballs, and you get quite a few from a single large slime. I'd say they're actually less of a risk or effort to obtain than other hostile mob drops.
And about the economy here; it's not exactly a huge issue in my opinion. If this were a real economy, and people were becoming homeless, broke, can't obtain food, stuff like that, then yeah, this would be a catastrophe. But the fact that its just the cost of items going down in the game just means maybe we'll have to find other ways to stimulate the minerealm economy, such as through labor tasks. Which is really where all the credits originally came from. And with time, more items, more blocks, more everything will get added to the game and have higher prices due to their new-ness, and possible rarity. So I wouldn't worry about prices getting lower.
Now that that's out of the way... I'll take a stack.
