Forgive me if I believe (1) over (2).
As it happens, and just for the sake of complete transparency, I've also known (1) for several years, and respect his leadership & honesty.
Only ex bronzestar players, or maybe some chromestar, are potentially making more rakeback than before, IF they play only during boost time, and IF they are net depositors.
And then, they are still getting for each chest a ridiculous reward equivalent to a small fraction of a dollar. They gain so little starcoins each time that they have to open a ****load of chests and play for months in order to convert their starcoins to the smallest cash bonus available in the store.
I don't see what sane mind could possibly conclude that this will enhance their playing experience.
ALL THE REST, pretty much everyone playing higher than 0.02/0.05, wether they are net depositor or not, are getting royally screwed.
