@Bob I see no toxicity on this thread, and I’ve seen a great many threads on my years here, the closest thing to toxicity i’ve seen was the memeing by people but even that wasn’t toxic at all, just unconstructive.
@h1myname1sdav1d Please don’t mistake my prior post for griping, I’m trying to offer some solutions, the fact I haven’t said anything about the other changes means I’m largely positive or indifferent to them and therefore appreciate your excellent effort to fix up the economy.
I believe that the unique structure of HWS (in terms of its seasons) should be utilised to help improve the economy, therefore this large 66% change could be spaced over the course of two seasons, have a 33% reduction in the bank this season and after analysis you can decide if another 33% reduction in interest is required.
However, it is extremely important to let people know of this direction beforehand so they can anticipate these changes and inform their choices regarding getting EB levels, cash amounts and server support packages.
Overall I agree with the direction your heading in, but we just need to get there perhaps a bit more slowly which can then help the community feel more involved. I imagine before making the changes you looked at the prior threads regarding EB changes, there’s lots of indifference on this thread because a great many of these arguments have been made before as Swiss pointed out:
