Re: No 5000 Gem pack?

@Schattenpflanze is a card game.   So yeah, paying money gets you more cards to create and player higher level decks.   Just like EVERY TCG/CCG EVER!!  As a matter of fact, this game gives you cards more frequently than magic, hearthstone, yugioh, etc.

It's a business.   They're designed to make them money, contrary to what you must think, they didn't make this game for people to just enjoy outta the goodness of their hearts.   But even with that,  they're still among the most fair in their free elements. 

And,  i too, wonder why you classify it as a kids game...  is it family friendly? Sure, but just for kids?  No more than video gaming in general.   Or was that you just trying to justify being a person who wants to enjoy a product but not support it?

I think it is a BIG DEAL.

10% more cards matters. That was the point of saving 5000 gems, so you can get that extra 10%.

More importantly, the general rule of good business is if you were giving something to your customers before, you should never take it away.

And as a customer, I am not happy this was taken away from us.

I was saving for a long time to get that extra 10% cards.

Well, leave.   Seriously.   Find a card game that gives you more and go enjoy that. That's how capitalism works. 

And what business do you run?  EA runs a very successful one.   So do i.  I used to give free estimates, i had to stop that due to gas prices.  Still in business.   But thanks for the lesson in business.   You're obviously the one to ask. 

But leave.   Your entitled self won't be missed.   And frankly, i don't want my few hundred bucks supporting ungrateful people like you. 

If i had to guess...  you're a millenial and a liberal...  I'm right aren't i?  Cause apparently the world owes you, and logical arguments don't matter as much as how you feel. 

i purchased a ton of 1K packs with no legendaries, so don't tell me that the guarantee is just marketing

LoL. You are not even close.

In fact I am a conservative.

I also happened to be quite accomplished in business.

And yes, I am considering leaving.

Not so much because I don't enjoy the game but as a matter of principal because I feel betrayed by EA.

Yes, my feeling matters. A drop of poison can spoil the sweetest dish.

As far as logic goes. Perhaps if they gave something to replace the functionality they took away, I'd be more accepting. But they didn't give anything, had they.

In fact your "logical" argument is basically "swallow whatever they give you and be happy with it".

Finally, it appears to me that you haven't contributed any value to the discussion except telling me I should leave. Obviously my post has somehow agitated you. Perhaps it is you who'd like to leave the forums.

@daalnnii

Okey, first of all...are you some kind of billionair? A "few HUNDRED bucks"!!! Who would spend so much money in something like this? Even if that is your fav game of all time, the amount of money is just crazy, but its your money so I dont care, it just shocked me.

So yes your right all card games are P2W, REAL card games, where you get REAL cards that you can sell on ebay or amazon, but this is a mobil card game, these cards are worth nothing.

Of course they have to get money from the game, but not in this extent. I know Popcap for years and they werent always that money hungry.

That game was made for kids, but like any other kids game, adults play it too. The majority is still under 16 years. And you can get all cards too, without spending real money, but the amount of time and gem grind is overwhelming.

@daalnnii I dont watch TV, maybe the news. Also I got the game to play it and not watching adds all day. The result of pay to win games is a grindy guy spending money all day into the game before he realized it was to much, now he is addicted to it, maybe you should see the game from another perspective, maybe from the perspective of an child that wants to play a mobil game without spending his whole lifetime and/or money into it to get the feeling that its fun. Thats the reason young players quit it soon, while the 40 year old republican businessman still plays it.

PS: That was just an example for what I see the game becomes.

@daalnnii, just asking nicely that you stop the personal attacks in your arguments.  You often provide valuable thoughts and insights into/about the game, and I feel that others could better see the value of your posts if you kept things there.  After all... Hallmark Moment: Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care. 😇

Also, if one of the EA folks could adjust the post where you translated Schattenpflanze as a vulgarity instead of "shadow plant" (Google's translate detects Deutsche), that would be appreciated.
