You are saying we should not have assumed that elite conversion reduction would remain, but this would be predicated on knowledge of the conversions formula, which is not publicly available.

Amidst all of this devs are talking about bringing in new players with gimmicks like referral bonuses? How does that work exactly? You cant have it both ways. You can't cultivate an environment where only the "elite" with access to information regarding obfuscated game mechanics are able to make successful choices while at the same time trying to bring in new players.
