Can we stop pretending this game is player friendly now? Much less F2P friendly?
Every mechanic in the game is designed to manipulate the player into spending money on packs with atrocious pull rates and no bad luck protection. (no $200 to craft a 2* card on PP's does not count)
- trading ✅, system that doesn't benefit F2P or P2P players -> go open packs
- pull rates ✅, look at the odds for yourself in game -> go open packs
- wonder picks ✅, will see a 2* card every 2-3 weeks at best -> go open packs
- crafting ✅, $200 for a SINGLE 2* card -> go open a lot more packs
All while having 0 bad luck protection, go open packs, a lot of them. Duplicate 2, 3 or crowns? No trading in a TCG.
I am sure there will be comments added here about "I opened x packs and got all this! so obviously you're wrong", yes you did, and for every one of you there are 1000 others who got little to nothing, that's how the plainly available odds work.
This is a gacha game through and through. They baited is in with lots of packs on launch, and the switch is already happening with A2. The longer the game goes on the more impractical it will be to play.
So can we stop pretending now?
