I feel this question. I feel your former post, Scuttlebutt. I also wonder if the intent expressed by Sven still exists as a business initiative.
Even a gesture such as adding 5 more Bronzium card spins to the Store (and trust me, it causes me mild anxiety to even think about letting those spins go to waste to own 90 minutes of my time back) appears to be a move to exacerbate the time we spend in game on trivial content. I've also wondered about the last bonus regular energy of the day and the first two shipment refreshes of the next day occurring within 9 hours of each other (that time span being one typical recommended amount of nightly sleep +1 hour); of course one can say I don't care about 45 energy or about missing gear from the time I sleep and then eat breakfast. But what if it's stun guns in the shard store???
I appreciate these pushes here. I also wonder if the metrics show that the longer we stay logged into the game, the more spending of money there is.
I agree with simming, especially with the introduction of tier 3 in assault battles, to save time for different, newer content. Except Omega battles; that's still my 3v3 GAC practice.
