As always thanks for your recap.
I don't know really know why so many people don't like these changes, because it was written in the white paper and they announced it in thy roadmap.
But on the other side I would like if Splinterlands would develop itself a little bit more like a normal web2 game. For now Splinterlands is really complicated and it gets more and more complicated, so new players won't give it a new chance.
