i have a serous problem with no longer being able to earn booster packs at all in the game, I invested my money with base carrds with the idea over time I could level them up through play... you just made all the cards in every starter pack of every small player WHO FOLLOWED THE RULES ...
WORTHLESS....

THERE IS NO UPGRADE WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY......

Had that been stated before we made original purchases you would not have had the same level of adoption!

That is called a bait and switch...

In New York State, you would have to deal with a D.A. on that.

I suggest that you sprinkle some of the beta 2 cards or a beta 3 card which can be combined with alphas or betas to level them up.

Or a special task or daily achievement that give out a pack....like a win with all splinters + a level up within 24 hours gives a maximum of 1 pack.

This way a player can upgrade in game, in most games, base cards are easy to earm, and you just cut that off....every card in the starter pack MUST be buildable in game to be fair!!!!

Otherwise this game will never succeed!
