I agree with OP and understand why you posted it so early without information BUT
to start a discussion you still need some grounds and hypothesis are just that hypothesis which we adjust according to our believes, desires and needs, in absence of any indication of where it will go.

The reality, IF (even this is still and hypothesis) something truely happens, may be totally different then the so many hypothesis that we could formulate. It can be a total new concept with totally new ways and so forth. We dont know yet. and in my opinion is too early.

Your post is meant as a pre-warning but the interest of a game is to work, if there is too much unbalance it will create raging posts and complains and this isnt something a company wants, so I strongly believe that it is already planed and accurate. How do I know ? the same you know it wont be...Speculations...

It is too early to discuss this, maybe we should wait and then complain, in the end though neither ways will do something, once a decision is taken, is hard to come back and IF (yep again this word) if a turn back is to be made is never done right asap.

I agree but still too early
