I wanted to discuss this since more people started to know about the Bluesteel recipe that, for the sake of keeping the secret (or rather, what is left of it) I'm not going to reveal.

So, since the Bluesteel recipe was revealed freshly, there was a small circle of people who were trustworthy about keeping the secret. But with time, other people found about it, and while some kept the assignment of keeping it in the dark, others just decided it's a perfect opportunity to ruin the point of a recently important aspect of the game, only to make a bunch of people mad for their own, personal satisfaction. This happened with every secret recipe that was revealed in this game so far - there were good people who obeyed the secret part, and others that didn't give a flying !@#4 about it and apparently like when the secretkeepers burn in rage as they spam out the recipe in chat.

So, here comes a conclusion: Are the secret recipes really needed in this game? For a few days, they will be hidden, but trolls will just reveal it anyways and the whole point of keeping it a secret will be futile, like every time. This makes the option of not making something a secret and just leaving it in the patch notes with absolutely any information about it absolutely vial, as in a few days it will be well-known to the community either way. Threating with bans both in game and off-game for revealing anything won't help, because there always will be people absolutely dedicated to still doing this, to ruining the point of something, for their own fun. So here I leave a question for you all who read this to answer:

Is it worth leaving any secret things in Survival 303, or just never make any secrets again and leave things open and not-secret to not feed the trolls?
