There were mixed opinions from players with more time playing. This is the first season I've played.
I have read that now the rewards with the new bar are not penalized by the ECR that was used before.
That sounds like a good thing, I hope the game keeps getting better.
To me its an all round killer update. Limiting gameplay affected bots way more than real players. The DAO is working well and people are taking good decisions 😇 so I think a bright future awaits for this game.
