You may have a point that 12 VE runs takes all day, but 3 N runs... you can do that in less than an hour with a full tank of merit points. So a party capable of doing D or VD now has no reason to do those.
So instead of throwing a big hissy fit because I had the gall to criticize your poorly thought out idea, maybe act like an adult?
