I understand the announcement to increase the price of social coins, but I don't think teams realized that people who don't have social and are farming for season 2 would see the announcement and choose to leave PHAVER rather than buy a coin that doesn't seem attractive at the moment.

It's probably more important to keep phaver users from leaving than $social prices, and even if social prices go up in the short term, it's just a band-aid that will make things worse.

Well the team has to do something. It's probably fair to reward genuine believers than Whale farmers who can deposit 50M $Social for 7 days and max out the S2 allocation thereby denying others who held theirs for 30 days plus what they deserve...
