Yoshi-P's Interview with Famitsu includes a few comments about AST

[Vlady]

I wish SE had more people with your creativity, honestly.
AST needs its own identity.
But i'm afraid that SE will just buff them, do something about the RNG and....DONE.
*sigh*

And that is what some of us want. I dont want the job to change.I hope they just do a few tweaks.
