As Mike1970 said, I've given up trying to understand what's going on.
Surely the KC was big enough and vast enough, with enough parkland around it to be a venue right from the off?
I could kind of see the point of taking the venues down to a minimum if you were going to keep all the players in a bubble (not financially viable for RL) and using all available resources to keep those venues pristine, but this just seems to be a free for all now.
