To me it feels like they make it more and more difficult to play. For new players, which should be the future of the game, it is extremely difficult to play and advance. Sometimes I think the developers just want to make a lot of money and forget about the rest.

I am not sure if this even really supports the developers either, but there seems to be a lot of drive to keep the same groups happy. Maybe a bullrun would attract new investors. Perhaps not.
