Arvek, you are factually incorrect that on Wrath 21, it "enabled you to progress faster than you normally would". On most servers, the leading alliance is able to take down the Forgotten Fortress in about 3 months. And coincidentally, Wrath 21 is about 3 months old, with the leading alliance (UM) just reaching the center and had just taken out its first Guardian Base on one of the hubs. This new change will DOUBLE the amount of time it will take the leading alliance to take down the fortress.
Also, enigm in his response to players on Wrath 21 also lied when he said: "But the change back to its original value was deemed necessary in order to get player progress speed to normal levels again". The server was NEVER at the "normal levels", it was just changed. What is now EA's "normal level" is nothing but a scam to get players to pay double the price for the same game. It's all about the money and many players are beginning to see through the scam and spending their money elsewhere.
I like this game, but it's not worth getting screwed by EA in the process.
