Moving the game into rogue-like dungeon crawler with training and other stuff was not needed, requested nor required by this game.
Over-complicating things, extending the learning curve was not necessary and new players will have much trouble contributing, helping and managing their way around.
This update was big kick in the balls for all players and I am sure that players will vote with their wallets. This update will be a thing that chases away so many players.
I have logged every single day for several months in the past period, but today and yday, I barely logged couple of times. Completely pointless to be around all the time.
Thank you devs, you did yourself with this one.
If you are desperate to make a rougue-like game, go make a new one, don't ruin the existing one with showing the mechanics down the players throats.
