To clarify, the goals here are twofold:
1) To allow us more time for polish and quality between major content updates - it's no secret by now our current dev cycle has left us little time to breathe and some releases in a state we aren't happy with
2) Allocate dev resources from Battle Pass to new content, ages, events, etc. which does include continuing to make new items for the Bazaar
We're still committed to major gameplay features and additions being available to everyone without gating them behind paid barriers; that's not changing and won't change. We're just shifting things around so we can deliver better updates for the game. Hope that makes sense or helps. Thanks for all your thoughts.
