Also, to clarify, I much prefer a reset to a nerf. I don't like nerfs. From my point of view, you earned the power you have. Game balance is totally not a problem for me - because I believe that it's been balanced all along. It's just that I haven't been able to benefit from the fruits of early participation and I feel bad for missing out on that, so the solution is to wait for a new round before going for it again. Nerfs to try to incentivize activity annoys me lol. It's like if the players who want it (those who are suffering from what they want nerfed) are holding activity hostage and won't give any until the rest comply to their demands. It doesn't feel right and I'd feel guilty for participating in it.
