If you redeem more than fly on paid tickets in KF Premium this is actually a change for the better.
Of course if you are qualifying for EBG by miles, have a hard time making it and fly KF Premium a lot this is bad news.
But the point was why would the people who are not affected or even benefit from the change not be ok?
And also, while of course everybody would like to have as much points as possible from every kind of flights, I think what people have been saying here is that this is more or less in line with the general SAS policy, as KF Premium as a product is closer to SAS Y than SAS C.

Well, that is if you are buying a regular fare ticket, but if we consider optiontown, the extra miles can be a considerable factor, especially if there is a point booster campaign or something similar going on.
At best it has been 25€ for almost 3000 additional extra points and over a 1000 extra basic points, which I think is a decent deal, considering you get at least a little bit nicer flight as a bonus.
