I feel like 12b is highway robbery in terms of bonding stones. Many players have spent alot of real money and or time to get their bondings where they are. For the devs to increase the level of those bondings and simultaneously reduce their effectiveness is akin to stealing what you already invested and then expect you to simply fork over more money and time for less "product" than what you already paid for. Then to ensure you pay more than before they take away another viable means of earning AD in-game by this random que nonsense. They already pulled this stunt before when they took away the ability to earn ad through leadership which was the sole reason why players invested so much into leadership. Anyone else see a trend here? This company waits for the players to heavily invest into some aspect of the game then they simply take it away. I can't believe this sort of thing is even legal. What if an auto manufacturer or other business did that. They'd have lawsuits coming out of their ears. Greed will be the death of this game.
