Shrinking point values and increased cooldowns on searches?

I've noticed many activities going from 10 to 5 points and 5 to 2 points. Also the cool down on searches for m,e has gotten beyond ridiculous, I now have to wait 20 minutes to squeeze in 3 searches. That takes 4.5 hours to get 50 searches in. Why bother with this microsoft. Its not like slowing us down gains you anything, it just pisses of your loyal base, eh.

It does piss off some people and they quit the program altogether. Not saying that's the goal, but it seems to work that way.

Yep not happy was 1 day short for 1000pts, I use the Xbox for the searches ( I load up bing and wait few seconds between searches and use the I opened. when the page gets to big I delete them but alway keep the original one open.
