I really want to reply to you with what I really think but for the sake of not causing an argument, I won't. But yes I do agree with you.
Well, I am pretty anti NTR myself, but I have seriously sprained my upper spine by shaking my head when some guys start how they feel about it. Like "female person talking to male person" at all. E. g. Orville asking for breakfast ...
The tarot cards got nerfed and now I cannot keep Sofia Fernandez happy. Not to mention I have re-collect the new ones and they have a bunch of experience stats I do not need. I can see the use for them with a new player to the game but they are useless once all your girls are level 5.
Well, the balancing probably is done with the idea of players who buy the finished product. I agree that I don't really need them anymore, but apart from having to recollect some, I don't really see a nerf. (Obviously I also don't need XP increases anymore, also money increases are not interesting, I have 700k or so sitting in my bank). And I'd argue that right now the strongest card in play is the Socialite - even though normally not needed as well - which didn't exist before. +5% to everything gives even a low level girl a fighting chance at succeeding. You can even please Nora and Sofia simultaneously. (By the way, is there some event in the planning, I mean with Nora being assertive and Sofia liking being treated like she does ... jk of course). But yeah, for players who have followed the development - they by now have all girls and all rooms maxed out, they will own all items, so the cards lose a lot of value.
(Actually, The Wicked is still the best card. But only by a small margin. At least for us because this card actually can help at any given moment.)
