So I estimate at level 260, she'll drop about 26.5k per win which only means about 1.272M a day max.
Hmmm? Really? Most players were not crazy enough to do 72 battle per day. Only no-life people did that. Indeed, for these people, they make less money (but they can get a life and time to sleep instead, so maybe not a bad deal?)

Taking Finalmecia as an example, the threshold to know if you make more or less money than before is 63 battles: once Finalmecia is maxed, you make more money than before if you did 63 or less battle per day. If you use to do 64 battles or more per day, you lose some money, yes.

But given that 4 PvP victories equal more or less as much money as a victory on Finalmecia, even the most hardcore no-life players will have easy time to make more money.

Of course, the reasoning can be applied to any other boss: on the middle and long term, everyone should make more money than before. You just gonna be patient until boss levels are maxed.


Also, for the other comments:
Girls drop rate has been raised a little bit and the bug that plagued the drop is no more: at least one player dropped 6 girls (including an event girl) from trolls since last wednesday.

The harem level bonus is just a first experimentation by the team. They will tweak the bonus step by step.

Other things that the OP didn't mention, purposely or not:
- now you don't have to chose between fighting trolls and ToF: former PvP can now hunt for girls, and former girls' hunters can try themselves with the PvP. I think it's a massive benefit for the vast majority of players, who can diversify their gaming experience.
- now you can have items from your daily missions. Even white equipment has more sale value than the yellow mission money rewards. And you can get plenty of rare affection items, which have buying value ranging from roughly 16,000 to 40,000. So, net benefit here as well.
- epic books in store, although that one feature is not really changing anything in the game, imho.

Furthermore, as several persons highlighted already, this was only the first update of many. Latest intel on discord and the official forum talks about up to 8 updates, all more or less related to PvP and battle system, one release per week.
Most important among them are the addition of categories within the ToF and the league system.
