The people who wanted nothing but balance, and it's clear thats who they listened too. I never said that part of the player base was bigger at all. I'm just saying it's their fault. Heck look at how they replied to it. Like I think the only one who didn't like it was Sly. Sadly SE isn't going to explain what and why they did any of those changes to Ast. My personal opinion is the cards should be abit better and maybe they will get fixed. I just don't see them reverting those changes cause again like it or not I bet a large amount of those changes are impossible now due to how they changed the battle system. I can't say that's a fact 100% but I'm guessing that's a piece of the puzzle that you can't just rewind. It's not that simple.
Shire card which was the "TP" card could of "Easily" been fixed to Direct hit buff, you know this, we all known this. It's actually not impossible to revert changes, it's a more of a matter are they willing to listen to their community or the small majority, high end raider/parsers/speed runners. There's been others classes that have got some of their abilities back such as SCH with energy drain, we need to have Royal Road back with our lore restored. You know why they won't explain? I think we've already come to the conclusion with that answer as mentioned before. Using TP as an excuse doesn't answer as to why other cards such as Arrow,Spear, and our loveable MP card were destroyed.
