HUT TOTY Prices

I have been playing HUT as my main mode for the last 4 years. This is genuinely the first time where I've seen a weekly release and thought yeah I cannot possibly do this. The price for the TOTY cards that were just released are insane. And there is no way to earn one comfortably. TOTY is arguably the best event of the entire year but the wind gets taken out of everyone's sails when they see the ginormous price of each card. I understand that they are the best cards in the game but I remember a few years ago being able to make 3 of them on release day and then being able to grind and make another before the weekly refresh. I don't even see a path to grind for one single card. I'm insanely disappointed in this year's content management and I fail to see how the message hasn't been delivered yet that the path the team is taking is not the right one for player retention.
