And to add insult to injury, there was no warning on this one - first I heard about it, I checked, and the price for final awakening had already risen by 7,350,000.00.

The DEVS could have given us a *** WARNING *** with big bells and klaxons that we had a week (or even a day) to increase if we were going to. That way, we could have gotten it sorted - for example, I wouldn't have taken time off from grinding LoL XIV to do 5 runs of Airstrip in order to finally get the new Eddie. Instead, no, a big increase (after I'd already spent the higher costs up to Level 9) without warning.

Some people - myself included - plan out their resource allocation strategies well in advance. At least a little notice before such huge changes take place would be nice - I feel like I'm getting it from both ends on this side.

I'm also sitting on a Level 10 Warrior LoL and a Level 9 Sentinel that I already paid the higher early costs for.

Basically, everybody who was at a certain awakening level when this thing dropped is being double-charged here with no warning. That's simply not cool.

TL;DR: Before major changes like this (and that amount of gold is MAJOR), we need time to strategize - which means a discreet WARNING.
