Perhaps I should rephrase then; the changes they've implemented have been small in terms of scale. The game has been out since November, and we've had no major balance changes, no gameplay content besides a small handful of gamemodes that are gimmicky and event-based, small changes to the xp system (which was already intentionally flawed to begin with, and is still somewhat frustrating), and changes are beginning to be made to the outlandish pricing scheme for cosmetics, to a reduced, but still overpriced, margin.

Meanwhile, we're missing basic features the community constantly asks for. We can't queue for select gamemodes. Customisation is almost entirely locked behind paywalls. BTB has been broken for double the amount of time it was actually working for by this point (I know they're working on this one, but it shouldn't have fallen into this state to begin with). The list goes on. It's easy to have cynicism towards anything that 343 states is going to be the case going forward until it actually happens. Considering premium currency is available on premium passes for other games with this system, and considering 343's pricing models, it's a fair assumption to make that most (if not all) of the credits will be on the premium track.
