Interesting history, thank you. Shows how much more it was pay-to-win in the past. All the changes are in the same direction. That would suggest the balance wasn't right before - and doesn't necessarily imply they have it right now. Druggers will argue it one way, non-druggers the other. (We know who holds the greater economic weight of argument.) Doubling everyone's crystals may have led to more drugging in the short-term. Nice gesture perhaps, but I expect TO had an initial revenue boost just before, as you could buy 2000 supplies for the price of 1000. The long-term problem (for non-druggers, but not necessarily TO) is if this extra drugging becomes the new norm.

Played a game last night when all 8 of opposing team were drugging all the time. They scored 80-odd flags in no time to win. No challenge for them, purely mercenary. If that team got satisfaction from that, they are deluded. What an achievement - being good at drugging - against non-druggers (that's sarcasm, for any literalists). Sad that TO is like that. Still badly broken. Most of our original team left, long before the end. Others joined, but we barely got a kill, let alone a flag return. Spoilt what had been a good game. TO get their revenues (not a bad thing), but the trade-off is high in terms of enjoyment. The balance still isn't right imo.
