I've decided that I'm not spending any money on tomorrows pack.

I was planning on spending $100 tomorrow opening packs since this is the first time I've had the app during a pack release. I've already spent well over that (around $300, probably more) in a little over a week, on the other 4 packs.

I'm not going to anymore.

I was trying out the trading feature with a friend, and it felt too predatory. Seeing that a single EX trade is 500, while burning a 3 star immersive only gets you 300 tokens. It's unbalanced to the point that it feels like they're taking us for granted since the game is so successful. My buddy ran out of cards to burn before we made our 2nd trade. Not to mention that a trade stamina is the same as a pack.

I have a whole friends list of people that I can't communicate with, and will never be able to trade them because how would they know which cards I want? I'm not going to offer a random trade when I have to deal with procuring hundreds of trade tokens to do a single trade.

If I spend money tomorrow, that's me affirming to them that they can get away with whatever they want and I'll still pay them. I personally don't think that's a good idea.

I enjoy the game, but it being ruined is always only a few predatory decisions away. I'd rather keep my money in the hopes that they make some changes. Maybe we get enough people not to, they'll listen. I'd be willing to be that some of the games biggest spenders are in this subreddit.
