It's easier to test and adjust this way: By first reducing the overall reward, we can observe the telemetry of how much less players are making overall during this period of time and thus make better judgement on the value of future rewards.
This also helps reduce the possibility of over-shooting our adjustments and giving away too many rewards. In such a scenario, we would have to nerf those rewards permanently and be left with much upset from any players who had grown accustomed to those greater reward levels.
In our current development: We can confidently counter frustrations with the current rewards implementation with the knowledge that more rewards will be coming, similarly to when rewards were previously adjusted last year.
Your other concerns should be addressed in future communications from the Dev Team on the upcoming rewards.
OH BOY THIS I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH!!! LET ME EXPLAIN WHY:
I have a current active premium subscription running right now that COST ME REAL MONEY. I started it right before the last patch. Right now I am earning about 40k less per match than I did when I bought the premium subscription. I play on average at least 20 matchs a day. 20 x 40,000 C-bills x 30 days = 24 million C-bills I am BEING SHORTED while you reduce C-bill earnings for your test.
SO....I take it I am going to be getting a lump sum of 24 million C-bills at the conclusion of your test right? I mean instead of using the test server like you should be to determine the reward adjustments, you have decided to devalue my premium subscription while you test the economy so I deserve compensation right?
Seriously, this is total BS. I can understand making a mistake but if your intentionally testing the economy by doing a massive reduction in C-bill earnings then ANYONE who has an active premium subscription deserves some sort of compensation even if it is an extra 7-15 days of premium WHICH COSTS YOU NOTHING TO DO.
I was planning on renewing my premium subscription when it was done but unless I see some sort of compensation for the loss of C-bills my REAL, HARD EARNED MONEY was supposed to buy me, I am not spending an additional dime on this game.
CAN I REITERATED THAT I AM REALLY FRICKEN POed right now!!!!
