Saying that “it clearly states X” multiple times does not mean it’s not confusing for people. Again, if IOI had to tell people in clearer wording on their blog, it meant the briefing wasn’t doing its job, regardless if “most people don’t watch it” (which is dubious claim in of itself). It punishing people for KO-ing someone is just utterly ridiculous game design on a one time contract. And the briefing does not help much in ways I’ve already explained.
I’m not against it returning for ETA, but I don’t expect it to return as-is right now, and I fully understand IOI’s hesitance.
