Please allow us to bank 4,000 tickets.
Hi. I love the events, and the card rewards. I love the daily challenges, and their rewards. But you are demanding WAY too much of our time to achieve these reward tiers. I play at least 10 other ...
Forum Discussion
Do you know someone who doesn't benefit from this idea? Me. If I want all four copies of an event card without spending gems ('cause I can't watch ads to get them for free, so those shinies are really precious to me), then I must win at least 3 multiplayer games every day (though not consecutively as I have to wait for a four-hour refresh on the booster), complete all seven challenge missions, and then win three more multiplayer games with boost or gather a smattering of tickets as I complete quests.
And I think that @Clarent1975's idea is fantastic for those who can use it.
First, despite the post's title, the proposed banked amount has been dropped to 2400 tickets, two event cards. You don't get the two event cards for free as you must still earn them. Want to get next week's event cards as quickly as possible? Play hard this week to bank those tickets! (I'd also like to suggest that banked tickets are immediately applied to a new week's event card... can't skip out of any less than stellar cards. 😉)
@Islar74 raises an excellent point on whether banking would impact the number of players in the multiplayer arena. The most telling statistic would be how much people keep playing multiplayer even after they've accumulated all four event cards. Certainly people were playing multiplayer regularly before tickets were introduced, so I'm sure that it's not everyone's only incentive for friendly online play.
That's a very interesting way of looking at this. "should have more than" ...
I don't know, what if an everyday player doesn't win as often as they should? You see what I mean there? Meaning: what if an everyday player isn't consistently putting the wins in? Should that elite player still have more than anyone else? In terms of event cards?
Wouldn't everyone say no they should go make better decks and win?
Aphid, you can't watch ads for gems? That's weird! Is that a regional thing?
Also it is your bank, you should be allowed to spend it as you choose. Automatically applying it wouldn't be you choosing.
For me personally it wouldn't matter because I want 4 of every card. I'm of the belief that every card is good in the right situation.
Daalni, I'm in no way trying to negate in any way those hardcore players that log in everyday and are committed to this game.
What I'm saying is this idea allows for flexibility... with our time. We would all still be putting in the work here.
Let's say player- X is having a bad week... dog died, wife in the hospital, tornado blew the roof off...
here are currently that person's options:
1. FIND TIME in that mess of his personal life to keep logging in and playing.
2. Drop the $20
All my idea is, is adding a third option for further flexibility...
WHAT IF a person can make half of the time and WANTS to play? Well if Player-x doesn't have the cash because of said catastrophes, or doesn't want to spend it, this is a very viable solution that doesn't "hurt" anyone.
Let's also assume that he had played a ton the week prior to earn the extra tickets...
His bad week hits he now has this solution:
Burn his tickets and grab 2 cards, he still logs in for the other 2... and then his decision becomes: do I let it go until next week , or do I bust butt and refill this week?
This option doesn't negatively impact anyone.
It only impacts Player-X
The bank affords a flexibility for the PLAYER.
The side benefits were as mentioned:
1. More people playing at different times, and the only way this wouldn't be the case would be the scenario I mentioned: burn the bank and then don't refill that week... but then the following week SURGES the population of players, but since this wouldn't be happening at the same time for every player, it is balanced.
2. We have another option
3. Increases gem spending
4. It helps the hardcore acquire their cards faster. And IT DOES. If you are playing more often, you are earning more tickets (if you are winning, of course). Additional scenario for the hardcore: you log in , burn your tickets and you have 2 copies of the card for your deck right at the beginning of the week!!! Dual copies of a card can let you test new decks, show off that you have them already, and you get to play with them earlier than the many who might not have filled their banks.
Personally, I think this is a fantastic idea the more I think about it...
But, as it is my idea, truly; I am biased...

Check eBay or the classifieds in your area for a newer model. That thing is ancient. You should also be able to find old iPhones or Android tablets/phones that will work for dirt cheap used.
Another option is using Android emulators on your personal computer.

It's not just ancient, it's Justified and Ancient. (That's right, I'm taking it back to the old school 'cause I'm an old fool who's so cool.) It outlasted our iPad Air, so I feel an unearned loyalty to it. 😃
I like your suggestion about using an Android emulator as that would be a cost-efficient option. Thanks for the tip!

Hahah. Nice.
If you are going to try an emulator, I suggest Nox. Most are very poorly coded and inefficient. Nox is less bad than the others I've tried.
i could never figure out Nox and had major issues with it.
on topic : i would only be ok with OP's suggestion of banking tickets if we could also earn more than 4 copies of a card during the week. (so for those who play a lot, we could earn&recycle extra event cards)
- @jaydabbler
That's something I have always wondered...
Once you get to 4. If you recycle one, you cannot get a new one with tickets? - Look, i get you want flexibility withh your time. I do too. I'm running a business and just got the switch a few weeks back... I haven't played this game in a while. That being said, i don't feel i deserve the same cards as players who have put the time in to earn them, So i pay for them. I also believe in paying because i like the devs. I want to support them and let them know their game brings me joy.
This game is far more fair about free stuff than any other popular card game. Don't let your bias blond you to these two facts is all I'm asking: 1. Devs need money to support this game and their lives. 2. This game is more fair than most card games about doling out cards for free. Remember when the first event card cost was 2000 tickets? I think they've done a fair job of balancing for the casual crowd (of which I'm a part of). You always have the option to buy plants with gems too during the Event. Not ideal, but it's an option.

- Well, I look at it as a win win win.
Devs still win. Peeps still need to refill their banks. Still gonna spend gems to do that faster. And all of the other reasons I mentioned.
ALSO, NOONE is getting ANYTHING additionally for free with this idea. In order to use the bank, you'd first have to fill it. Which means that you would be playing at least DOUBLE the number of matches( much more in fact, as the ticket boost is only 500 tickets and after that's gone... you would be subject to the 15 per match, or Pop the 20 gems for the 10x)
The ONLY thing it is freeing, is TIME. And that's still on the backend.
It's an idea that is worth trying.
Everyone could see an improvement in their experience. Even you. - Also, I might add...
I completed this yesterday. Soooooo....
Under the ticket bank system, I would probably have a reason to play even more...
No?
