Thanks for taking the time to write this post! I can see that you put a lot of thought into it and while, like you said, it does contain some of your personal feedback, I do see the same across other threads. A lot of these points you’ve written, the team is aware of and are working on a fix or are working on ways to improve. However, game development takes time and while it may seem like the GS increase was an arbitrary decision, features are planned ahead of time and being worked on ahead of their release. February, as we said in our Dev Video, will be focused on bots, bugs, and balance so stay tuned for more information on that update when it becomes available!
Again, we really appreciate your feedback and of course, I’ve relayed all of these points to the team. Thank you for helping keep the New World forums constructive and civil!
