Well, after reading thru several comments, it seems the recurring theme is that a price restructure just doesn't rate the term 'major development'. Perhaps not to most of us, but it could mean a lot to those in the lower tiers. As for using a country's GDP as a baseline, it's like the old saying 'you gotta start somewhere'. Let's give it a chance, see how it works out. I also saw a couple of posts suggesting that we 'improve the game'. That's a good thing, and I'm sure that the team is working on it as an on-going task. However, rather than just saying that the game should be improved, how about an actual suggestion to do so? What areas do you feel need the most improvement, and how should it be done? Maybe throw it out there in a dedicated forum, see what kind of feedback you get?
