Obviously they want everyone to deplete their ally point hoards ... which must mean they are bringing back tournaments! I'm holding my pile, gonna get the jump on the competition when it happens.
Mostly a freeloader with 5.7M GP since Nov 2015 ... this change to bronzium value is frankly insignificant to me. I barely even touch the stuff, but I do like the rare 80 shard windfall.
I do not believe for a second that this "technical issue" is too hard for them to solve before dropping the change. They just do not want to do it and we know they have a reason. If it smells like Bantha poodoo, it probably is.
