I don't see much healthy PvP around anyway, so if people want to push stats I see no reason to stand in the way of that.
How this is going affect the store? Since you still have the "300 level cap" or is this temporary?

Botting? You just removed the only chance regular people had to be competitive.

Agreed.

Updated the store text.

This, exactly. All other things (free gilding slots, ultra-fast curio study etc) I find wacky and ugly, but that I can live with. Grinding stats non-stop just to be able to say "fuck you" to an occasional raider passing by my hermitage? Thanks but no thanks.

Agreed.
Why are you comparing yourself to them. I always played the game to get as high as possible, before dying for one reason or another and then try again to overcome and get my personal top scores higher and higher. I never compare my scores to others since there's no point. I play it to get my own top scores and see how high I could go.

The only thing you're missing is that they can beat you with their "high scores", quite literally. PvP is competititve. This game is a free-world PvP. "Trying to beat your own top-scores" makes no more sense than "training to be able to knockout your old self".

The Inner Party has been reduced to include only the moderation team, and is thus functionally dissolved.
It was a pleasure helping you how I can.

Because stats actually do matter in combat. Not everyone plays this game to get higher ql of carrots.
