I know by watching the Reddit thread, various discord servers, my buddy list/guild chat that this is not what the player base wants (as announced). Many would be fine with increased base spawn rate but that wasn't included in the announcement so we're all left wondering.
It seriously has me questioning the future of the game and whether or not I want to continue investing my time in it.
(Also, I apologize for my forum name - I made this many years ago when I was young and can't seem to change it now).
