One day you log in on your Hermit and find that all your Skills have randomly changed. No longer do you have maxed Lucky Seven. Instead, you have Double Stab. You would be understandably upset; you can't do what you formerly wanted to do because of this stupid mistake. Whenever you tell your friends about it, they can't understand why it matters. "A skill is a skill!" they say. "Why do you care what skill it is? It's not like you lost any SP!"
Fact of the matter is we were looking forward to hunting new cards today, and not only can we *not* hunt new cards, but we can't hunt old cards either, and our existing cards got all messed up. This is especially frustrating considering we all spent the last 6 weeks deliberately and precisely choosing cards only to have someone take them all and hand an equivalent number ones back. If Crimson Balrog is a 100$ bill and Mano is a 1$ Bill, are you really going to say "They're both dollar bills!"
That's not really a proper analogy. If your Hermit suddenly has maxed Double Stab instead of Lucky Seven, you're screwed. Your gameplay experience changes dramatically because you've lost use of an important skill. Monster Book is entirely for collector's value. It doesn't change gameplay. It doesn't cost NX to reset your stats back. When you sign on to the whole "collect them all" thing, you're doing so with the knowledge that the cards are worthless in the first place. They're not $100 and $1 bills. They're a Charizard and a Rattata.
I can understand why those of you that actually care about Monster Book would be upset, but personally I'd love if my Skeles got reset to 1 and a couple of other cards got maxed. Another hour of 1.15x on monsters that I collect way too many cards of anyway. I've probably wasted 5-6 Skele cards a piece.
On a side note, I've only picked up an Eye of Time monster card and that didn't change anything in my book.
