@valued-customer, I am sorry you feel this way. As for our upgrades, they have been announced a couple of days in advance. We started announcing it in that way a week or so ago. I personally go over all the comments on every posts, all the messages in discord and DMs and keep a notebook of players wishes and ideas. The architect is in-check with players too. We are aware that not all upgrades can be liked or accepted by everyone but we are trying to find solutions that will make at least most of you satisfied.
The encryption is being worked on. We appreciate your feedback and the time you spend thinking and providing us with your ideas and thoughts. It means a lot to us. Thank you.
