They really are working hard to achieve mediocre. When is the real time with pause edition coming out?

This honestly comes off as hyperbole and as someone who has the time to spend 12-14h/day playing and grinding for currency. Most people do not have that kind of time. Also, no one is asking for an instant win button to have everything right away. I still like this game but the amount of nerfs lately and more overall IRL time spent to get to the same position as earlier is not appealing anymore.

It was massively nerfed because of TFT (Chris Wilson said directly in the nerf post), not because of individual users. The nerf, regardless, hit individual users the hardest. What EXACTLY is hard to understand here Innervation? That's a genuine question. What do you not understand about that? " innervation wrote: One doesn't have to think the current system is ideal to believe that common criticisms of the game are exaggerated, No, but if the system is not ideal then there is room for improvement. Why are you arguing against those suggesting changes instead of proposing changes you think would be ideal? If you fundamentally agree there is room for improvement, but argue against any and all criticism, how you are not whiteknighting for the game? Disagree with the proposal, suggest your own improvements, point out why the suggestions are bad and propose a better way. But you wont, and we both know why. I'm still waiting for you all to stop dancing around and support the original argument - that the game, now more than ever is being made for streamers and racers. There has been exactly 1 point of evidence offered and that is the removal of Harvest - which was demonstrably them correcting a mistake. Full power Harvest was not some long standing tradition that they took away from players. It was a blip on the radar of crafting in this game therefore it is a bad piece of evidence for the proposition. Please try again...but you won't, and we both know why. There is a mountain of evidence that the game is more accessible to non-streamer non-racers (which is 99.9% of players btw) and next to none for the original argument.
