Alot of people are also upset about the aparent unanounced change to the rolling qualification tier (rolling 14 months vs. April of the 2nd following year). Also, the No Blackouts change does devalue Diamond and Gold as it offers everyone a benefit that had until then been reserved for Diamond and Gold. With no black-outs for everyone else you have a larger number of people that have access to the same number of award rooms. The Diamond Force protects Diamonds from some of the ill effects... the Golds are likely going to feel that particular devaluation even more.
