I really don't understand the need for the increase in the fees as there is no reasonable justification for their actions. Mining fees have dropped significantly, timing confirmations have equally dropped. The height of it is little or no regard for their clients by not giving any notification and that is why regulations being clamoured for will always have their way. A company does not just go ahead to increase its fees without carrying along the regulatory authority just as banks will not wake up and charge arbitrary ATM fees, COT, alert charges, without recourse to the Central bank and notification of the customers.

4x is just too high and there is need for those using the platform to start considering alternative means of carrying out their transactions because their thinking is that earnings from cryptocurrency is "free money" and you can afford to pay any associated fees that comes with it. Accepting that and continual use of their services will only confirm their hypothesis and a justification to do 10x in the next review.
