“Thanks for the feedback -- I'll have some announcements shortly on several of these concerns. The AI farming speed was intentionally slowed down because it was having a severe negative impact on the economy that was forcing me to limit item drops and silver generation. The current speed isn't set in stone, however. I'd like to see how things adjust in a week or two. Glad you guys like the new changes so far. I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out.”
