Exactly.
Like personally I don't even give a damn about Caravans because I don't even use them, I make money just warmongering, but I also think they shouldn't be wasting their time trying to balance the early game economy when so much content in the game isn't even implemented yet. Priorities should be...
Gamebreaking bugs > Content > Minor Bugs > Is everything working? > Ok, now balance it
With the latest patches someone or maybe a team of people seems to be focused on trying to balance the early game economy when most of the features that will effect the economy aren't even in the game yet. If you balance the economy without those things existing, you're just going to have to rebalance it once they are. So don't waste your time. Work on something more useful.
