The point of previous arguments are that the progression for late game players is the high level EB/OCD and other features. Their argument is that there is:
- There is no real viable reason to progress the EB past 8
- Progression at that point requires donations to keep progress between seasons. You can’t expect to progress without it because upgrades take multiple seasons of work. People don’t like being forced into something like that.
Nobody is saying that you need to have those levels of things but, as you said, the game is about progression. For everyone! Including those late-game players.
