You guys are rank 69 on the play store. I know my guild, a top 30 guild. Had nine day one players retire between the paywall, the raid requirements, and the time requirements. I know many other guilds are facing the same issue. Just before the nine year anniversary you introduce yet another paywall to the game. That isn't something celebratory, that is a slap in the face of the community. You have every influencer of the game speaking out against the practice and yet you double down. I think all of us want the game to last 20 years easy. Please evaluate what is going on to protect the future of the game. You are losing great contributing people and alienating many others. Make everything including TB CMs simmable, make the raids simmable (after obtaining max score with a given team) and decrease the paywalls not increase them. You will strengthen the community not alienate it. Also the mathematics do not add up. Having 10000 people spending $5,000 in the game per year is less financial income than 600,000 spending 500$ a year.
