I am not really taking sides in this debate but by quoting me, you have just proven the players are meant to be unfrozen.
If they were not, the collectibles could not deal with the "low player liquidity at the top" issue.

If they were OS 30, collecting would still be fun. You try to sound as if it is not an option. And no, the percentages are irrelevant, selling one 100 OS player to unfreeze is already over the (p2w) line. Cross it if you have to, I am not here to judge.
