To whoever is running this game:
It is so annoying to see time and time again, you make changes that benefit new players only. When you changed the ceremonial shield to allow techs or sockets to it, it allowed new players who have not done the blackhammer farm quests to put that tech on the ceremonial shield for a total of +800 blight resistance.

You should never forget the players who have supported you over the years, the same people that have lived through it all.

When you make changes that benefit a small % of players and you don't do something that compensates the others like allow a trade it to remove a tech to use against another that is now allowed, it is going to cause hate and discontent.

My suggestion is just stop making trivial changes and fix the real bugs in the game, but if you insist on changing something for enhancement then at a minimum allow your solid base players who have stayed with you for years to be able to somehow gain this change.
