I have to agree they did not waste resources. Their goal was to find a way to get adolescents more interested in a turn based CRPG and they succeeded, that has hardly wasted.
The game has an 18 rating in the UK at least so there should not be people under 18 playing the game. But yes, how exactly is anyone going to police that?? Perhaps when the full release modding tools are available there will be a way to balance the amount of "wasted" resource by adding more content etc. Time will tell. Personally I love the game as it is but happy to see what comes next.
