Personally? I dropped my sub down to 1 month, because I'm not quite ready to walk away outright ... but am very close. My trust and faith in SE is at an all-time low, because the only thing I've seen is a single note that implied the only change they are looking at is making red scrips easier to acquire. Honestly, that's the bottom of the list of things that bugs me about crafting and gathering. My considered (and calmed down) opinion is that if SE doesn't fix this mess, I'm probably going to be gone by September. And little "tweaks" such as doubling or tripling the red scrips per turn-in only serve to indicate that SE noticed people are unhappy .. but do not say anything indicating understanding why
Wow! I couldn't have said it better myself. The only difference is that my sub ran out 3 days ago, and I'm just coming and checking the forums in a small hope that the tweaks they are talking about are more than just giving out scrips easier. Because, as you indicated, that isn't the core of the problem.
