When did I ever say they dont do it? When did I ever say they wouldnt do it?
I was talking about a very specific statement and situation, they increased ally points rewarded and said they dont like to decrease or take away rewards, which is why they didnt lower them down when tournaments were removed.
Sure you can use other examples that does also include rewards being removed when a whole game mode is removed, but still not the same thing, as they removed the whole game mode/event for it's own reasons. There really is no way to remove those things and then keep the rewards present.
Increasing rewards for X reason, and then reducing them is never something they like to do. No that doesnt mean they will not do it, and no one said they wouldnt.
Moving gear into and out of nodes is also not a 1 to 1, as they did make other things more accessible.
Not that any of this matters, so can we get back on topic please.
