The recent tuning has one and only goal: encourage people spend more money to:
1. Get credits in the scoundrel event. Therefore, invest resources in toons almost no one had before, and many did not plan to get.
2. Cut extra crystals income.
3. Cut the purple ability mats income.
4. Encourage gearing and leveling up many more toons. But obviously with the previous bottlenecks, you need to spend more money.
Greed and short term vision is the only motivation of the developers of this game, not trying to make a good, balanced and fun product so people enjoy it, spend money and attract other costumers maximizing benefits in the long run. It remember me the fable of the golden egg goose, and we all know how it ended.
