Right. It's about strategy. The developers strategy. Making things a "must" ... like Blue soldier. So everyone puts time and ressources in it ... and i guess some also put 7 skillshards in it (worth way above 100€/pound/dollars ... even if you just played for it) and now nerfing the toon to hell. So people lost their time/money for nothing. Well, they can do this once, but not again.
They should give at least the skill shards back in this case.
