Well you certainly find plenty of time to opine and make elaborate complaints on this forum... nearly 1900 posts? I've also noticed that you like to minimize others' concerns with a bit of self-important sarcasm when they don't align with you own. But you're certainly not the only one....
I do agree that making changes based solely on the test server is a poor choice from a customer service standpoint. However, since it is still just a free browser game I will try to play along by occasionally checking the test forum from now on. It would be nice if BB was more clear from the start that the test server/forum is also a planning environment, since one might assume that feedback and changes to the existing game were not really it's purpose.
It seems silly to make changes that are obviously going to annoy lots of people, like nerfing the pathfinder rewards and making commonly used elite troops more expensive, without a really good reason. You can't possibly expect a glowing response from your players with those kinds of surprises BB. Otherwise, I am pleased, or at least neutral with the rest of the changes. Double bp's from Snow White is definitely nice, since I still need a lot of those.
