This game is near unplayable since they doubled the cost of relic materials. Why do it? Among the library full of bad decisions cg have made over the years, and this is the worst. I'm amazed it gets so little discussion

You’re about five/six/seven weeks late to the discussion party. It was discussed plenty when the announcement was made.

That’s not to say I disagree with you. Posting in The Road Ahead and expecting the player base to make an extrapolation is far from adequate. At the very least, there should have been an in-game notification, along with an explanation of the consequences of their change.
