Ultimately, while you have explained the reasonings adequately, key word adequately. I am still unimpressed by your choice of solution. I also think you could have handled this a lot better by giving us the said "QOL Relic Changes" that seem rather promising and the new game mode and then using that as a gradual opener to Relic Delta. I'm not sure what this announcement was supposed to achieve other than bad press being good press because any press is good press. Regardless how this comes across is that you opened the door for feedback but were ultimately really never going to change your minds, only adjust it, but even then you most likely were going to base your adjustments offer your testing and spreadsheets rather than actual player feedback. We once again get the illusion of choice and that is pretty frustrating from a community perspective. Overall Relic Delta and 10 are on their way whether we like it or not and as a community we have to decide if we are okay with that. Overall, you decided that you wanted to add a "stat check" or a "Relic Check" whatever you want to call it and that was NOT the only solution you had. GAC needs a matchmaking fix, badly, ESPECIALLY if you are adding Relic delta. I don't see myself discontinuing play but I won't be a dolphin anymore. I'll be taking my money elsewhere. Thanks.
