Running a live service game like XDefiant means you have to be so, so careful about what you change. Anything you alter has the potential to either send your game crashing, or create a fan backlash of titanic proportions. In XDefiant one recent change threatened to disrupt the community with its unpopularity but in a move characteristic of the type of communication the developer has shown so far, the change has been ditched.
