BB_Dantesama - so what you so generously point out, while forgetting our generosity - is that we have been wasting our time doing all those adventures and keeping the loot in our mail-box?
Indulge in a mind search - who do you think is buying your gems?
I have been lvl 50 since mid july. TSO for me is all about doing adventures - and now you have removed that fun. Bad thinking.
A few other players have been lvl 50 long before that, so they will be hit even harder by that "awesome" new idea.
