Thanks for the shout!
Strangely, I have mixed feelings about the merchandise breakdown. Sure enough, it will make things more understandable but, for some reason, sometimes I prefer not to fully understand certain stuff in BB. In general, I like the current efforts to make the game more transparent, but trying to solve certain hidden mysteries is a good reason to play BB - in fact, I'd say it is one of BB's marks of identity. Also, coming up with rational explanations for these mysteries is a good way to reward good managers who are able to see what others can't.
Anyway, thanks to all the BB staff for all the work behind these changes. In my opinion, all the ones that have to do with NT world are a big success since they make the competition fairer.
