I agree!
You’re missing the point here @Winthor, the problem is not what veterans will do. The problem is how new players will respect the growth! How they will “feel” the necessity of it.
Nerfing the stone weapons was a correct move. Lock the “easy” chests too and you’ll see them growing correctly! After all you must not forget, THIS, was the way we learned the game! At this time the games population was humongous.
The thralls was s…t in all the ways, our strength was low, the map was difficult and unknown and the legendary weapons a dreamy goal. We idore the game this way however :man_shrugging:.
Back then learning how to grow fast and upgrade your weapons and armor fast was a main goal.
Especially the khitan caravans went too far of making the game humiliating easy.
It was a good call they removed this s…t.
