I disagree. The game HAS changed. More points are needed for each skill and while many of the skills work to our disadvantage, our opponents' seem to have risen. As for testing, they didn't listen did they? People complained at the difficulty so they made it harder?

Oh well, now that I know I wasn't paying to support the game but to play a mini version, I won't be doing that again. There really is no advantage to paying up front. I realize there is for the makers as they are being supported while they create the game but there really is no upside for the player.
