Like a great leader once said “it is what it is”
CG/EA did the calculations and made the conclusion that more players will spend money on the game if they lose 20 omicrons on something they wouldn’t spend it on I they know what to come.
Of course you might say it’s a really bad way to treat a community and a customer base, but just like the big nerf they just don’t care.
This is their way.
It a fun game and a great community, but the guys in CG are in many aspects enemies to the player base.
A fairly unique business plan, but hey it seems to work.
