Hey everyone! So recently, Version 11.8 of The Battle Cats has been released, introducing the new 3x Speed Up. However, this raises some concerns in terms of speedrunning because this power up is locked behind the Gold Pass subscription. This means that potentially, those who are able to purchase this benefit can achieve a significant advantage over those who cannot in power up categories. We wanted to hear some thoughts on how to deal with this new feature:

A. Nothing: The 3x Speed Up is still a power up, so it should simply be fair game for all "Power Up" runs regardless of whether or not it is a paid item. B. Separate Category for 3x Speed Up: The factors surrounding the acquirement of 3x Speed Up are significant enough to warrant its own category outside of the basic Power Ups category. We still want an option for runners wishing to run 3x Speed Up. C. Add as just a variable: Adding 3x Speed Up as a variable means that it'll be a piece of information about the run similarly to the "Platform" variable that tells whether someone is running iOS or Android. No Power Ups and Power Ups will still remain as the categories, but you'll be able to discern whether or not a run has been ran with the 3x Speed Up. D. Disallow 3x Speed Up: This power up should not be allowed because it's locked behind a monthly subscription, and puts those who cannot purchase the pass at a significant disadvantage.

Please respond with the letter of your choice. Thanks!
