Even if we didn't know about free eq back then, everyone wanted the most possible lvls gained for more sp to make better players. Can't understand why this was a necessary change.
Easy to explain, until S9 when the decline was discussed and added, no one knew what the cut off date would be so punishing people for building before Bort decided on a set build date is kind of stupid. That's where it all originated, it's not really fair to punish people because they guessed wrong on what day Bort would cut off at. Also, no one knew that they could get L72 eq.(no team could afford it back then) so again, they assumed they couldn't. When all these changes were made, it made L72 eq. possible and L72 eq. makes a huge difference.
shit, i've guessed wrong on bort decisions more times than i can count. should i go back and ask for reparations for all those wrong guesses?
This was the closed thing to an argument against it, not really a legitimate argument on why not to do something that is good for the game.
