Couldn't agree more! I'm in the same position, although I spent any on lands and nodes and such. Because I already spent enough, seen the value stoop, hung around, hold my cards and kept playing.

Although the cards value is crashing, the amount of money you have to spend to get some rewards seems insane... !!
And when they come with their proposal to "fix" things, this doesn't seem to be a problem.

They keep talking about making the rewards more scarce, and difficult to obtain! Yes, if they ment for the whales and themselves! If I as a player came to the table a couple of years ago, can't get over the threshold of decent rewards?: How are you going to recruit new players?!

Not that I want to stop the OGs and big guns from getting nice rewards. But they are burning themselves on the foot! Not tempting new players in, and making it hard, and unenjoyable, for the players that have stuck around.
