I wonder how many embracing the changes haven't spent much (or even a penny) on the game? If not, please allow me to put you in my position.
BB introduced premium for gems. That meant premium loot (among other things) = 50% on top of normal loot.
No mention back then that they thought weapons shouldn't be there. Really? BB didn't think back then that the loot needed rebalancing?
So to all you nay sayers etc, consider this. Those who have paid or invested in premium have been mis-sold goods. I dont care how you look at it - it was advertised and sold as premium on the understanding of the goods available at the time.
So what now? Will there be refunds of gems for those who have been mis-sold premium?
