Ghasts currently drop gunpowder, which makes perfect sense and is fine, but it's far more difficult to collect it from them than just killing creepers. Nobody bothers killing ghasts just for gunpowder.
What I suggest is that in addition to dropping gunpowder, ghasts should also drop 1-2 slimeballs upon dying. Nobody is going to hunt ghasts for mere gunpowder, but for people having trouble finding slimes on Earth having the option to hunt ghasts to make sticky pistons would be a welcome option.
As anyone who has seen Ghostbusters knows, ghosts are slimy. So it's perfectly logical they would drop some slimeballs upon death.
I find getting slime balls is easy. I just dig down to bedrock and hollow out a reasonably sized room, then I have more slime balls than I could ever need. I agree Ghasts do need a new drop, but slime isn't it.
Umm.. I haven't seen ghostbusters, but from what I can tell, Ghasts don't seem very slimy. But either way I do agree that there should be an alternate method of getting slime balls, or a better method.

Easier said than done, slimes only spawn in special chunks. At world generation, a chunk has a 10% chance of getting the ability to spawn slimes...
Whenever I tried to make a Slime room it worked... maybe I'm just lucky, lol. In that case, we probably do need an alternate method... perhaps something in the Nether or Aether?

If you can find slimes on earth that's all well and good. But it can be hard to find a slime chunk right away.
You'd want to keep searching for a good chunk so you can build a slime trap, but until then it'd be nice to have another, more straightforward but more dangerous, way of getting slime.

other than that, I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

Well played sir.
I'd appreciate not having to use TMI to acquire slime...
