I'm worried about my very strong opinions against the wholesaler changes getting lost in the kps argument. I get it that they wanted to change where certain upgrades and certain stuff comes into the game. So, ho hum, I just go back and fill it in. It doesn't affect how I play. This change does.
Alongside the changes in the tournament it actually works against neighbours, near neighbours and non FS players cooperating.
It doesn't address the almost perennial problem of being short tier I across the trader, or the practise of demanding tier I for tier III goods.. doesn't matter how long you leave them up to rot, someone is almost always desperate enough to take them. (Guilty)
Surely the solution is to make tier III boosts much more difficult to gain, and tier III manufactories much more expensive to build and upgrade?
This change may well make people much more selective in their visiting and trading habits. I know I will think twice about buying with non boosted if I can't get some of it back from the wholesaler. Right now, I'm leaving a tournament round undone as if I go there, I won't have enough to complete a province, which means I won't get a share in the spoils. I've a maximum boost in tier III. so that's one tournament I won't bother with again...
and as for quests... well, now that I've become so cost conscious the fancy prizes are really very very expensive and very bad value. And with such reduced visitor numbers, the bragging rights aren't worth it.
