really, you don't understand this? You must not hang out in Discord a ton, there was quite a few seething players over this issue on the last set.

Players bought packs in the last set, only to find out that the Alchemy packs were the "best buy" for the money. They complained that they should've been told ahead of time which pack type was the "best buy" for the money. To those people, they bought the wrong pack type and it was our fault.

While I believe that all the packs had all the information given out ahead of time, that doesn't stop people from being upset. It was new and thus no one knew how the new foil was going to be received for sure (thus the pricing implications). Plus the fact of the matter is that whenever there are more than one way to do something, then there will be one way that is better than another. Some people like that, and some people hate it.

The bottom line is because there are many changes happening with the Black Foil calculations, plus the changes in the price of the pack types in the original proposal, then there was a good chance that the "best buy" for the money could've shifted to something else.

We could just go with the "buyer beware" or "do your own due diligence" approach, but given this was an issue to players that caused a lot of negativity, then it seemed like a good compromise to remove the packs and eliminate the disparity between pack types for now.

We can always include the various pack types in the future, but considering people were unhappy last time, the goal is to eliminate as many bad feelings as possible on this time. Of course if you liked this dynamic, then it doesn't apply to you, but that doesn't mean it didn't apply to others.
