Varying merit rewards by TF length didn't work to get people to run something other than $OPTIMAL_TASK_FORCE over and over, so they're being more explicit?
That's pretty much the theory I came up with, too.
*shrug* They're not holding a gun to your head. You can still run the FOTMTF if that's what you prefer and get the usual rewards. I'm not really seeing a gigantic downside.
Well, I think it's less about "because we feel like it" and more because they wanted a way to limit how rapidly we could collect Very Rares and they didn't want to do it with a timer system like they used for Alignment Merits.
Think of it as a sneak peek system. It's not a punishment for refusing to run the dev-choice TF, it's an early bonus that requires a little hoop-jumping.
And, frankly, the alpha slot is so meta-game to start with that Ramiel's explanation spiel at the end of his arc as much as admits to it. :)
