I'm not real sure how I was being a "douche" but w/e. If not a single one of the r/m/e holders that I know feels this "slap in the face" then you just might be wrong about most of us being upset about it. Also of note 95 emps aren't that easy and anyone who is staying at 90 wouldn't be effected.

What you need to think about is that SE was, one way or another, gonna make some kind of death grind. Be happy that it's something that you don't need to do. If they made stage 2 a necessity for doing as much damage as you possibly could then 10x the people would be raging so don't go poking the hornets nest and get something amazing added to stage 2 just for the sake of "not wasting dev time".
