Really? Many people proposed a rested system back then, on various forums and places on the internet.

Many people had seen it in action by then, and the developers, er, seem to have listened, seeing as how fatigue is on the docket of things to be looked into.

I proposed the rested system or a mitigation of the system since the very beginning of the beta 2 phase. But I'm also aware that telling a developer "just scrap it" simply doesn't work.
If you want to get something from developers you need to mediate.

Also, the experience curve gets slapped around quite often during a release and in the following weeks. You cannot judge a system that influences it until it stabilizes.

As I said, the system isn't "Bad" per se, but it can be done better, and now that the team has changed, there's a serious possibility that the new director will consider just replacing it with something equally functional but less convoluted.
