“POSSIBLE SPOILERS!” Dragons plague is to harsh of a punishment for using a game mechanic

The fact that you can have your whole saved bricked is a pretty hard punishment for using a game mechanic. It’s a cool concept but the fact that your city can get completely fucking wiped out is overkill, they should have done a stat debuff or have you fight a boss instead, and, the fact that the eternal wakestone is a one time use item doesn’t make it better. So, if you fail to catch it in time you’re forced to farm wakestones before everyone is gone forever. This combined with the fact their is no new game feature makes this too much of a cock stomp, I’m all for difficulty but fucking A, you’re pressured to either run just you and your main pawn, killing your pawns before each rest, or risk a complete wipeout.
