Blessing in disguise

What's the point of this game ATM? Every pack is a draft. And for every event one needs to open 100 packs to get a player good enough for your team unless EA decides to bless you. When the draft system came up at the start of TOTY I remember seeing ' build your dream team with the draft system'. And I happened to notice that after pulling a 116 Yamal on my 99th pack and literally burning all the gems I had. The audacity to even put that up after bringing such a system is commendable. Fair enough, your game so your rules but atleast show some respect to the users EA. Not everything is about frustrating the users leading them to invest money. Yes you can play the game even with a mediocre team but that's not how anyone wants to play a competitive game is it? To me, looking back at how things have been since TOTY it's laughable how much I cared about this game. How much I wanted to get good cards into my team and how could make the best use of the time I spend on this. Honestly it's laughable. The game basically told me nothing matters. Doesn't matter if you have 1 million gems or 10k gems if you're lucky you pack someone or else just cry. That's what it has come down to. Just luck and be least bothered about everything else. Kinda glad I got to this realization before it took my total sanity away. I honestly have no idea if anyone feels happy with the game. Even the PC/console community is ranting day in and out. Same with the mobile community as well. Seriously wondering what went through EA's minds for bringing such a system into the game. As someone who's been part of this community for a good enough time you've disappointed me beyond a limit EA. You've just shown me none of my time or effort mattered. But now that I look back it was a blessing in disguise. I no more think about this game or get excited about any new promos.

    Yeah this game ain’t fun anymore and in a few years people will stop playing this cash grab of a game or Casino i should say.

  • You nailed it when you called out “respect” for users. There’s a real lack of respect from EA right now with regard to F2Pers. To my mind, they’ve initiated a “purge” against us and are seeking to make the experience so miserable for F2Pers that we either start to spend or we leave.

    And siveisanoob, you also nailed it when you labeled FCM a “casino.” That’s 100% what it is and this draft system was “the house” making the table  “minimum” a lot higher (i.e., 300k gems just to guarantee yourself a random 116 card!) and the odds (of obtaining players that help improve your team) a lot lower (as in less than 2% for F2Pers who can’t scrape together several hundreds of vouchers). It’s a slap in the face (again, a lack of RESPECT) to any intelligent user because we can all see that the odds are stacked against us.

    So, now we face the choice: Stay and suffer the humiliation and frustration of becoming increasingly uncompetitive relative to our P2P peers, or waste our money in a casino where we can’t even enjoy the cards we win because EA refuses to improve actual matchplay. OR, we leave en masse and let EA fly FCM into the ground without us on board.

    I don't think so man. There are dudes who still pay however ridiculous the offer is. ATP this game is like an experiment on how much EA can squeeze until the p2w also starts making noise.

    We always have a choice to leave. It's totally on us if we still continue to play. It has reached a point where the game tells you "get outta here". The game has progressively gotten worse and honestly this event was the final nail in the coffin. It's better to invest your time on something which regards your time and effort. Don't ever be stuck on the "I'm about to leave/I'm almost leaving" phase cuz that never comes and you're just buying time for the game to torture you more.

  • People who quit will quit.. People who rant will rant.. nothing matters to EA.  They just got us wasted on this crap with little value for efforts put in.
