you are right, but the reduction in in size, better spells and all the other things does show us that the MA has not been a great success story for the game. that it has also dominated discussion for weeks now with no real improvements or explanations for why it was considered to key part of the game, shows me it was a way to make more money and not really an advantage to the game. the dev's have been asked to explain this point, no feedback from them. the spells were asked for in the forum, none of them came in. generally, I think the MA is flawed and will never work properly for those that that don't need it. those that find some benefits out of it are temporary, they use as required.
