Welcome to the vast majority of the discussion in the "Re-balance Feedbacks" thread.

World 1 story girls give more cash now, but most other girls have dropped in value. Payouts come in quicker if you can hang around to collect them as soon as they're ready, but the total brought in by all girls when you come back from being away for a few hours is less than it used to be.

The drop rates to get a girl from a troll seem to have improved a lot so we can more easily fill out the roster now. Gifts for the girls give a lot less xp, yet leveling the girls up has become much easier because the gaps between levels are really really small. However, affection requirements scale up based on each girl's order in your harem list so at some point it becomes absolutely ridiculous trying to reach new affection scenes with the massively reduced affection that they now get from the books. Plus the affection scenes themselves also scale way up in how much cash they ask for.

Costs to purchase items have gone up (and gear prices scale with the new item levels) and instead of being able to sell items for 1/2 of that value we can now only get 1/6 of that value. On top of this, the cost for great pachinko spins now scales up with your level. So the cash coming in from the girls can get stretched really thin buying out the affection items from the shop and trying to farm affection items from pachinko. Supposedly the rising pachinko spin cost is somewhat balanced out by the sell prices going up with the levels on the gear drops (still a net loss, but supposedly the cost per each affection item actually stays pretty consistent) but that doesn't stop it from looking really frustrating. On the "bright" side, the costs to buy additional stat points dropped massively (not that we really "need" fully decked out stats with the combat still being the same).

And people keep going back to the affection issue because it really feels like the current state of the game is built around punishing long-time players, especially those few who are actually supporting the development of the game by buying kobans for all the epic pachinko exclusive girls (whose harems are at something like 80 or 90 girls now). People have been saying that it could take years to recover the costs of bringing just one new girl up to 3-star affection.
