It seems like that for sure, but in this case older players are having their gear income reduced. If nothing was happening to them, they'd probably be perfectly fine with it, other than those people who feel "why are new players getting it easier, I had to work hard for my stuff"

It "seems like that" because it IS like that.
As a 5M+ GP player myself, Bronzium gear/shard farming is the least of my thoughts about this change. It is an absolutely ridiculous thing to complain about. There are many, many ways to generate shards for the Shard Shop and if you are really sitting on so many Ally Points right now then nothing is stopping you spending them all right now before the change and then sitting on the Shard Shop currency until a new character comes along that you want to gear up fast.

I think you are missing the underlying point...yes, farming shards for certain characters will be easier but we still have a major gear crunch. Helping one without the other seems counter intuitive. Add in the fact they actually will nerf gear acquisition slightly due to the Bronzium issue doesn’t help. A huge gesture of goodwill and to celebrate 5th years it would have been nice if the cost in the shard shop stayed the same instead of doubling. It is a big miss in my eyes.
