Sorry, I'm not really buying the premise that people doing 4 clears are 'casual.' 4 clears is at least an hour, if not more. Throw in DDQ, and you're at a likely minimum of 90 minutes a day, without discussing PvP, Sim, LRs, or the actual time consuming process of opening tokens, leveling rosters, etc.90 minutes a day is not casual. (it's not Hardcore either of course)

It's still the same amount of effort to ME. I do feel bad however for the people that did their 4 and got outta dodge. If you want to play this game hardcore multiple hours of the day, that should be YOUR choice as a player. It still is, but now they're penalizing the people who like to take it easy.
Alsmir said: But it's not just "90 minutes per day". For me it's fairly regular to have days when I have maybe 10 mins to play max. That's it. It doesn't matter the slightest that the next day I will be able to put in 3hrs of play. I miss one sub and the final reward is gone. I used to be able to sometimes make up for it with doing as much as 6 clears on most nodes in 1-2 subs, but now that possibility is gone.Furthermore, my reasonable goal was 4* cover and 10 cp. Now 20% of that cp is gone.
Straycat said: Just curious, say I play CL8 and did not know about the change. If I did 4 clears like normal until the last day, is there enough points to make up for the missed 5th clear the previous 2/3 days?

Penalizing them in CP only. The rest of the rewards have been boosted, in some cases substantially
Actually, the decrease is in both CP (by -2) and Hero Points (by -100) for people going to the 4* cover in the current system for 3/4 days event. Otherwise, as you said, it's a boost in other (non-health pack/boost) rewards. That being said, I honestly probably won't notice one missing classic legendary token every 5 weeks of 3-day/4-day PVE events. I will notice the decrease in HP significantly more, but I'll likely just drop some of the deadweight on my roster, as needed (I'm far from a completionist, fortunately). It will also change my willingness to do the Hero-for-Hire, as I'll be hundreds of HP short from my previous rate of acquisition.

Bloody Marvel said: Either this is false outrage or an inability to properly understand the info provided by D3Go!.Everyone who's been complaining has been doing so under the assumption that they have an absolute finite amount of time to play every day, and this amount of time is somehow immutable.If you were doing 4 clears for every node, that's exactly the amount of time you can spend, and there's absolutely no way you could do any more. Not on the weekend, not when the wife's out with her friends or the hubby's watching a football match, not when the kids have gone to bed early, or when you've got half a day off from school.I don't buy that premise for a second.
