Hey everyone!

Been a while since I've played and I'm curious to what everyone thinks of the mercenary system. Did the difficultly/need for parting decrease? Did it have an impact on the economy? Is the game more entertaining now? Do more people play now?

Questions like that, specific information about the update I can look up without bothering you guys, but I'm more interested in the impact it had on the player-base and you specifically. Looking for as many opinions as i can get!

Thank you
