I am not suggesting change for the sake of change... I am suggesting balancing some stuff, making people think, creating a new meta.
It has been done many times before and some of the changes are good some are bad.
Bots, SOs, market history, DR halflife instead of threshold time, smooth gaussian NW-factors instead of thresholds for LGs, alphaffa, leaderboards, IRC news and market servers and end set news/statuses are some things that are new since I played before my hiatus. Those are amazing changes that just make everything better for players who try to take advantage of them and understand them. And its not like all of them were introduced in one go. so players had time to learn and adapt. Those are changes that have happened over like 6-7 years time I reckon and I had adjusted to them in like 3-4 months mostly.
Sure there are some things that I don't like too.
But even if you don't change the game, you could balance govts and bots. I'm not saying fix it right away. Work towards it.
