I agree that there have been many distractions, but I also realize this is the first time they've had to go through this at this scale. There's always a balancing act between tokenomics (defi issues) and the game (player issues). I personally want more focus on the game at this time, and my guess is they are now getting on that page too.
I agree the tokenomics are strong overall (except we need more voucher sinks like a voucher store where we can buy things with our vouchers). And yes there's no need to force anything, just put your head down and make sure people that show up want to stay because its a fun game to play! :)
