Oh for sure, but people still reacted negatively. The idea was good, but the way it was implemented was not. That's more what I'm getting at.
how else could they have implemented it?
Well they could have done it more gradually and that may have been the better move. Take 3 steps to get to each goal over a number of years with the ability to stop half-way if needed. Instead of outright going for the throat in this maybe just the ban on harmful incentive systems that force players to log in daily or fall behind. That by itself would have had western gamers cheering for the most part as aside from a few deeply in denial addicts most people don't like being controlled like that.
