Screening Test for Future Meta Changes

These three questions would make a very easy screening test for changes to the game's meta:
- Does this change broadly nerf the earned value of players' rosters?
- Will this change require more use of inventory than historically similar content, without a proportional increase in rewards?
- Is the increase in difficulty of new content, out of line with the typical progress of players' rosters?
If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", take it back to the drawing board. If you're not sure, ask your customers. If the change will improve players' enjoyment of the game in the long run, include adequate compensation to make adjustments.
Problem solved.
Never forget - games that people don't like to play make very little money.
