Hey @fatjimmy, while I think your point is very valid about all the moves lately being extreme, I think the Matt/Aggy are putting out the issues they see along with their solutions, and really figuring out what the community would want (or not want). I agree it is not a good look though, and maybe its just part of the messy introduction of the DAO usage to make decisions.

My biggest point about all these proposals (some I will vote for and some I won't), is that they are all a symptom of the same problem. Collectively we felt (devs included) the game was taking off and hitting the big time. While we did make a lot of gains in recognition and certainly blew past the competition in many areas, I think the eye was taking off the ball on one of the core elements that will make the game successful on a grand scale: the new user and small user experience.

Like I said I give lots of credit to the Dev team for making some truly awesome decisions: the addition of personnel, the new game additions, the backend work on the dev side, etc have been fantastic. But we can't reach the masses until we also are able to not only attract, BUT TO RETAIN the new and smaller human players (not bots).

On the plus side I think @yabapmatt is squarely focused on that along with others on the team. I think they will pay much more attention to the complicated puzzle required to achieve the solution to this problem. I'm not sure they will admit this as they have the most popular and deep game in the space, but as long as Yaba focuses on this part of the equation then I believe all the great things they've done will shine even brighter.

Its not easy, but I have faith they will figure it out!
