What does raising the maximum stats have to do with anything? The ability (not mandatory) to fully max a stat doesn't serve any practical purpose, beyond the daily wishes which didn't exist before this update, so are better than not existing, and are entirely optional. You can get the same amount of stats now as before the update, both from the basic actions, and from items in the shop giving the same stat/coin rate of return as before. If you want to get the same amount of stats as you used to get before, you can still do that, and your experience will be the same as before. The only difference is if you, by CHOICE, decide to make use of those higher maximum values on the stat and gather more of a stat then you used to. And even then, it costs more, but you get more of the stat then before as well, as the rate of return is still the same.
