yea indeed. thanks for pointing that out. i've never thought about it much tbh, but of course it's no longer a really coherent, believable system at this point.
and i'm still wondering how FD sees this at what they will do if anything.
- either it's intended for some reason and they are fine with it.
- or they agree and change it for the release.
but that leaves 2 more weeks, and at the current pace, at which new discovery threads are posted, it will not take much longer than those 2 weeks and many iconic places will be discovered.
now if they nerf it for release and make a full wipe, would that mean we then need months to "re-discover" places that have already been reached in gamma?
Yep - the joy of discovery has been removed, and now exploration is just another grind.....
