Often when there is a problem, you have a bunch of imperfect solutions, each with their own drawbacks and advantages.

And once again the devs manage to think outside the box and find a solution that's unequivocally worse than all of them. They could have just scaled back the increase in gold per energy as you move up through Islands; instead, they make chests crappier for everyone, in such a way that they're EXTRA crappy for for less advanced players.

It seems like a constantly repeating pattern: The devs make some changes that turn out to break the game slightly for some of the top players, then sit on their asses and do nothing for months as players discover/share/debate these features, make some random, kneejerk "fix" that makes things harder for some groups of players, and then recalibrate the next event to be so hard that even the guys who exploited the hell out of the bug/feature might have to pay to win.
