Creating unfair adventage
Punishing people for playing the game as it was “intended” isn’t a good idea, especially when they have put in a lot of hours, with 50+ runs of the dungeon’s path and even then not got all their equipment.
This “Change to online content” was expected by many, but the concern is the drastic changes made, including cost’s via aount of death’s, deminished rewards and the amount of time it now takes. These changes where like flooding the world, to put out a match stick, which is to say, a little Over The Top.
You may think it’s “unfair”, but a lot of people did put in the time…. and to punish them for playing, would be more “unfair”.
