Two polar opposites, except only one side of you is actually bs'ing. I'm actually curious to see which side that is.
Would be nice to see some thorough testing with perhaps video evidence provided (from both points of view), instead of hollow conclusions, because right now you just sound like you are exaggerating to exaggerate.
We removed a rule that previously allowed a base to be systematically invincible, and something tells me you have yet to stumble across the creativity to abuse that or observe it in a multi staged, well structured, experiment.
Edit: Did some trials myself. As you can clearly see, it is most definitely not as simple as "omg its easier to raid literally everyone waaah".
Yall can feel free to replicate this experiment with other bases so we can get a greater idea. It will just likely be hard for you if you can't toolgun spawn in items lol.
