Re: Please allow us to bank 4,000 tickets.

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...

@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.

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?
