This is exactly my point, you're thinking too short-term about this investment. Like I said, the time investment is much greater for new players after these changes but over the long term, if a new player sticks with this game, their rewards will appreciate with the growth of the game. I hope these reward changes haven't steered you away from this game, I think there's a real opportunity here if you're willing to stick it out for a few years.
