Perhaps someone else could take some time and create an analogy representing this situation? Then, more folks would understand why these unadvertised changes make such an immense hit on people with larger wallets. For the record, I spend very little on this game and it's in support of my guild. If I had spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on this game and all of a sudden the rules changed drastically, I would be put-out. Sure the rules have changed for everyone, but where is the reward for stepping forward? It seems more and more like a money-hungry business analyzing numbers and not the community playing the game.

I guess we would also need to define "drastic" too. I've been around since day one of KA, I've seen numerous hoops we've had to jump through with little support or clarification.
