Finally an appropriate developer response

Did they really raise the cost of mod level-ups along with the nerfs? If so, then consider yourself lucky. You got discounted mods. Am I the only one understanding that? If you didn't level up all those mods on day 1 and 2 and tried to do it now instead, it would cost you a lot more credits to do now (assuming the cost went up like I've seen people mention out here). Did you ultimately get what you thought what you were paying for? No. But in the long run, did you get those leveled up mods at a significantly lower cost than it would cost you to do now? Yeah.

Not sure if that evens out but as someone who was going to max out a ton of mods anyway, this really didn't change much for me. Other than feeling like it was a bait-and-switch kind of tactic by the devs and that feels a bit scummy.
