Awesome! I'm glad to see these changes.
I definitely think more could be done for the premium system, but I do understand that beefing it up has its own downsides. It can be hard to draw a line between beneficial and pay-to-win. That said, I'd definitely encourage the team to do more with it. Especially because even though I enjoy a lot of the mechanics and concepts of the game, I definitely think it could be sped up a wee bit. I haven't been here for too long but I can already tell that it gets even more grindy later on.

I think we as users need to remember that we *did* get some of the changes we wanted, and that not everything can happen instantaneously. I'm not saying we should be complacent, but lets maybe not ascribe maliciousness or deceit to the team just yet? I do not know everything but I think dappervolk could become something bigger, brighter and more fun with a little bit more time and work.
