I think Ahanld did a look at the numbers and it showed more people spending. I suspect these are the fresh blood that CG are looking for. The people who have huge rosters can always get stuff for free as they have decent crystal income and it was just the 7 which may/may not cost them a bit. So this era crap R10 is for them to squeeze these guys. We are the fallout. The newer players who did not have the roster depth/mods/relics can now compete with the whales on the leader boards if they themselves whale too before this it was impossible. I suspect this was the net gain they were looking for. The reason why they did not reveal maul was exactly as planned. If this venture was a fail reduce the cost if it is going as planned up the cost. So in seeing this reaction it is obvious revenue is good so continue the squeeze. Also " in for a penny in for a pound." If we have invested now do we just stop ? I will 7* is just not worth it. For these guys who have invested I am sure that when migrate out to legacy they still wont be as good as what we currently have in roster at almost triple the cost.
