We are in minimal effort mode, maximum gain for all associated with GoW, except the customer base.
Has been for a while, sadly.
Thankfully WE to me is something I limit my involvement in. It’s just poor, idle design.
I did do T4 last week though, was ok with Giants being synergistic troops, Jarl/Fire Giant etc. Medals don’t bother me, never buy more than 1, often T2 and badge only, so long as there’s synergy with decent troops. I don’t touch it TIL Thursday normally, can avoid frustration better! Doesn’t work with GW that way though 
Wonder if the next faction will have something bugged like the last two…
Release/go home strategy is a big indication of the QA effort provided…
