ITA with you on that. We created the mini ONLY in reaction to Gree giving HLPs the CP penalty they did, and refusing to change that despite constant outcry against it. That is where the problem began. Minis were a reaction to the problem Gree created. And instead of fixing the problem and allowing players to create 1 account that can do it all (rather than need a HLP for half the game and a LLP for the other half)... instead of fixing that, they just try to kill the LLP withOUT allowing the HLP to do what the LLP can. It's short-sighted and moronic IMO.
If they want us to drop our minis, the way to do that and keep us in the game is to empower our HLPs to be able to do what only the mini can now do.
