    I see a lot of people beating around the bush here - no need to get mad at the players or the dataminers. The biggest problem is and has historically been the lack of communication and clarity around everything related to this game. It doesn't matter if it's the feeder info, the ascension info, the communictu challenge info, heck, even things concerning $ like not being able to preview the chain deals etc, we are literally second guessing whether something is intentional or not. I was so excited seeing the almost explosive amount of energy that was brought out during the initial BCS takeover, but seeing things as they stand now it feels like it was a fever dream.

    Given that this has happened with two different sets of developers now (Demiurge was pretty good at communicating in the early days of the game!), it's either something about MPQ or something about us.

    One possibility (and the one I tend to believe) is that we're just not worth it. If they can cut all this stuff back and not lose anything, then it was never actually worth doing anyway.

    The difference we are seeing here by losing a few days of early information is basically only impacting people who would hoard tokens and open early before the actual update to double dip. The devs have the right to minimize that.

    Actually, there's one other group of people that benefits from the info without any hoarding:

    People in iso shortage who could champ the feeder (if they know beforehand) to double-dip the LT if they knew. Which impacts nothing, because an extra LT or two doesn't move the needle, but it feels nice to get to do this when you literally have the feeder champable (you just wouldn't normally prioritise them when you could also champ 234567 others).

    So, personally, I'm mourning that we're losing that info. Because missing out on the LT I could have gotten if I only knew to pour iso into this one a day ahead, feels bad.

    This is me

    But they don't have to provide any advance communication and nothing is confirmed in game until it is in game. So the data miners do suck,
