Actual FTA Data

[bmike]

I would say - let's all stop guessing at this point. It's clear the dev team is a) aware that this is an issue b) going to make some changes.

With B) whatever we speculate will be old news when the new changes arrive. With A) you can be sure they will re-evaluate things once the adjusted game play has 10,000 games complete and can bin the data for players that have played more than 50 games and players that have played more than the mean number of games. FTA matters to the players that play the most games - the new players shouldn't be studied so closely or perhaps discarded entirely since the advantage of knowing the rules and basics of strategy are far more governing than who goes first for all but a sliver of the games a player with less than 40 wins will show.
