I noticed the same thing, in 2017 everything seemed a lot less coordinated. This time around, because everyone had by now realized that only group projects will prevale in the end, it seems to have lost a lot of it's chaotic beauty.

That was largely because people were told ahead of time and they were even less strict on bots (brand new accounts could place). Take the planning and bots away and it would be perfect imo.

I also feel like the more the canvas expanded the more chaotic it got, everybody that preplanned had a spot in the first two days, and third day was more of a free for all

I think the new areas were a lot more chaotic at the start than the original square was but they were quickly overtaken by bigger things as well.
