SDS Just Wants Your Money

[NYS012]

By reducing rewards for other game modes, they are discouraging users from playing them. Because of this, users will not get as many players thru grinding. As a result, users will be forced onto diamond dynasty where they see their means to acquire players reduced to the market. In order to acquire desired players, then, people will spend money on stubs rather than grind on offline modes for XP or MTO points.

This patch, therefore, will likely increase revenue for SDS. Was this an unintended byproduct of the update, or was it the primary intention?
