So, right, the devs have s- have said, "Yo, lads, we're, we're, we're reducing the cost of the, um, reducing your, the money that you're getting from, um, uh, from the CG." And now then they went, "Actually, you know what? We're not.
We're...
Like, h- if you've been h- if you've been hauling a huge amount of stuff, keep hold of it, 'cause it's fine because you're not doing the C...
You're not actually doing the CG anyway." So, um, that's what the devs have said this week.
So I missed the second announcement, so that was this evening.
So, so they've gone back-
Yeah, literally walked it back
... on the first announcement and said-
Well-
... "Oh, go on, have your money."
Well, no, they haven't really.
What they said-
Okay
... let me, let me, um, let me clarify it, 'cause, um, yesterday there was a, um, was a, a post that went out saying, "Due to player feedback, we're, um, we're lowering the prices of some of the, um, of some of the items, some of the payments of some of the items that you're doing." That would including Palladium, gold, silver, Burtonite, Galite, and Indite was going down, um, going down, um, uh, a little bit.
So you were still getting, you're still getting money.
Obviously, you were still getting more than you normally, normally would, but it was significantly less than-
Yeah
...
I think it was eight times originally.
Um, and now they've had more player feedback as well based on this other thing, and the post that went out literally 10, 10 to 8, "We heard your feedback and we recognize the frustration, um, this has caused.
You deserve better and we recognize that.
While we remain committed to keeping the changes to more players that we announced, we are actively working on a solution to ensure players who have stockpiled large quantities of the affected commodities are not further disadvantaged.
We will share more details as soon as we can, but in the meantime, we recommend that you don't sell any of the affected commodities until we've provided further information." So a lot of people...
And I saw a few YouTube videos that went out about this, which w- like, which was like, "Don't take part in the CG.
Instead, do trade 'cause you'll make 6 billion an hour," and that kind of stuff.
