I did some research on this:
When he was the Survival Manager, Quinci often increased spawn rates. Under his mangament, Survival generally progressed quickly, especially compared to resets nowadays.
On January 8, Madeira became the Survival Manager.
Unlike Quinci, he intentionally seeks the the prolongment of resets by slowing-down progression.
January 31
March 27
3 cycles ago, Madeira buffed mobs.
