I really don’t understand your logic cg. Some players, myself included, spent crystals to engage with your content faster. This ultimately leads to more spending which is good for you. Your stated goal of these changes is that our choices lead to disengagement from the mode. Who cares?
You guys have been making decisions lately that are just nuts with all the respect I can muster. Your decisions are continuing to limit the choices of your players. Requirements that force players to max characters, changes that force players to engage with content on your terms. Counters nerfed. I mean I’m not sure you could alienate the player base more if you tried.
