Who came up with this crap?

We have to spend more time exchanging cards than we to spend playing for gosh sakes.  Let me exchange all these 74's for 76's, having to be exited from the set each time as EA "thinks" or "processes" it for 5-7 seconds while the little EA circle goes round and round. Then I get to re-enter and do it all over again 10 more times.  Then, I get to go to the store and open 10 packs, each with another 5-7 seconds to be "processed".  After this I get to go exchange my 76's for the 78's with the same "processing" time and re-enter the set again.  Then back to the store for tedious packs, because the excitement of getting to open a pack containing a 76 or 78 is thrilling!  Enough with the packs for every low card...geez Louise.  I turn the set in; I get the card please.  No having to go to the store.  Whoever came up with this monotonous system has a dark side and wants to punish people.
