Bigbadjohn, let me show you other point of view.
Facts: Panzer dragon are very powerful. 5/5 Panzer Dragons are overpowered. So it's decided to remove panzers and replace with other cards. This was discussed and can not be changed.
Now you have next three way of resolve this problem:
1) Remove all existing panzers from the game.
Pros - All players are in equal situation, all happy)
Cons - All players who had panzer dragon will instantly drop from game. (Most of active players have panzers)
2) Reset skill level of all panzers to 1
Pros - All players with panzers are in equal situation, but have some advantage over players without panzers and new players. New Horseman card should fix this.
Cons - All players who raised skill of their panzers will drop from game. Because to level skill once you need x6 more effort, than to just get panzer. And to level it to 5/5 - you need 25 panzers, insane amount of time and effort.
(Most active from active have panzers with skill 2+)
3) Stop producing more panzers, all existing panzers remains as reward to thous who earn them.
Pros - No new balance breaking cards. Only small fraction of players will drop game, because they don't have Panzers|can't level panzers. New Horseman should fix this.
Cons - new players will never be on level with older, who spend time and money into the game.
I see that PM selected best possible solution to resolve this situation.
What you select in such situation?
