For me personally this may be the end of a game that I've been playing for over 2 years now. That is a LONG run for an APP game. Reason being that I am forced to be a part time player due to the nature of my job. I miss 6 months of playing a year. But even at that being in a good faction I can still compete. If I lose out on 6 months of equipment collection it's going to be hopeless for me to compete in WD.
So PLEASE do away with this feature!
