Less than 24 hours after they released the "optional" manual update they said they were changing mods. If you spent like crazy and are now upset sorry but that's partly on you. You didn't have to do the update and were warned of changes coming.

Link?

And most people spend credits and crystals like crazy in exactly those 24h, me included. Not counting the amount of money some people put in those 24h. Not counting the amount of people that don't read this forum so they wouldn't know about the changes.

There was nothing announced about mods being nerfed. After the drop/level up rate was changed people stopped spending on them. But the damage had already been done, we spent millions of credits (5 mil for me) levelling up and worst of all removing/swapping mods.

You know what was announced? Just that the drop rate and level cost was changing. This caused people to blow even MORE crystals on refreshes. This was by design, EA knew people would make a final grab for mods. Then they pulled their usual bait and switch, nerfing the artificial cash draw.
