A new achievement is interesting. Last year I couldn't get it completely, let's see if I can do it this year.
On the other hand, I am not usually a lover of reductions, in any sense. However, as far as a better economy is concerned, I agree whatever brings benefit to the project, because in the end we all benefit.
And well, I would like the holo dust to be tradeable, but the way it will be implemented seems adequate to me as it avoids blatant farmeo.
As a player it is appreciable to maintain a healthy competition.
