[2023] According to the devs today, free tem was never something players were indented to do regularly.

Hello! Before this gets more traction: YaW also said that if FreeTem was being considered the main source of avenue that that was the problem and something to look into, as that was not our intention. As in, provide better methods. However, since we know changes like that will likely take time, we’re reviewing the freeze changes to make them less impactful on PvE, and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s articulate and more or less delimited.

We are likely to get no buffs, maybe more nerfs, and no replacement for it.

You literally copy pasted a message where I say we need to look for activities other than FreeTem to obtain money.

As usual with this kind of post you are taking phrases out of context. As I clarified in that conversation FreeTem is designed as a "boost" of rewards in case you need to do captures during a week (doing other weeklies, capturing breed stock...). That's simply why we don't see it as an activity by itself and that's why FreeTem has been toned down since it appeared during the EA and will continue to do so if we manage to find new activities to generate that income.

Freetemming is a valid activity for events, and in general. The issue is that it shouldn’t be considered the main avenue of Pansun making. We’re already looking into how to keep freeze under control for pvp and not make freetem more difficult for pve, so we’re not letting this be nothing, rest assured!

Yes, that's the point I was trying to make! That if FreeTem should not be this, that's what we're going to be looking into. I included it in another reply to the general post
