My reaction after playing through ep2, is CZ didn’t hit the right note with balance and challenge. It was a difficult problem admittedly, given that there’s new players, and alts that have been grinding for nearly a year, with mbumive pre-existing hoards of bumets (flezz and items) The choice to exponentially increase rewards, to compensate for the existing bumet-mountains might have been the wrong one IMO.

My lower level hacker/permanoob/re-res are going to have a tougher time getting to the same point, and I think/hope I’m going to enjoy that more than I have my alts that are having a cakewalk with ep2.
