Easy way to rectify that. Don't like what I'm posting; block me.

It is a little more blatantly obvious this year though.

Every time they offer double xp they are doubling the stubs you make by playing the game. It is almost like they are encouraging you to play the game instead of working the market. Shame on them.
I just do not see why people are so anxious to say they are greedy. They gave us a nice 97 today and provided a great 99 reliever in a one day program. I really feel like they just want people to enjoy playing. -

I had thousands of unopened packs, almost every card in the game and 5 million stubs last season.

I can kind of see where you are coming from there, but the stubs you make are almost entirely reliant on pack luck with all of the packs they give you.
When it actually comes to stub rewards though, the double XP does not help much. Looking at the XP path on the website shows a total of 11,000 stubs as actual rewards for the entire program.
A program meant to last for two months earns you just barely over 25% of the stubs needed to buy a Diamond Duo pack which they release new version of every 3 or 4 days.

I was not necessarily referring to stubs they directly give you, but you are doubling your wheel spins or progress on the path. You can sell what you earn, which is more stubs than you need. If you keep all the rewards you earn you probably do not need anything from the auction house. We end up with a bunch of players and stubs we really do not need.
Honestly, you are probably already at a point where you do not need to update your team. -

A couple of points:
First, many people will need to update their team before all of their Set 1 cards expire in a month.
Second, you absolutely can't use yourself as an example. Your profile shows 462 hours played already. The game released 10 weeks ago. So you have basically turned it into a full time job, averaging more than 40 hours a week. Of course double XP is going to benefit you more with that kind of playtime, but don't make the assumption that others can invest that much time into the game. I would assume you are in the top 2%-5% of players as far as time played.
And that is not a knock on your play time. If you have that much free time and you enjoy the game then more power to you, but most don't have that much free time to invest.

Great post as I think those that can put serious hours into the game grinding can’t relate to the vast majority that play this game in their free time. It’s not a knock on them just saying it’s comparing apples and oranges.

I have 1435 hours logged. I leave my console on and logged into the game all day every day. I simply forget to turn it off. I play maybe an hour and half a day, MAYBE two hours on weekends.
I wouldn't use time on the game as a reflection of how much time people actually spend playing the game.

Don’t even get 250 stubs for moments anymore. EA Sports. It’s in the name

That is strange. You would think that when the game disconnected you from the server for inactivity that it would stop accumulating hours, especially in DD.

Yeah usually it will disconnect you from the server. Those that claim they leave their console on seems kinda like an excuse to cover up how much time they actually play the game. No matter how you slice it there is no way you are keeping up with all the programs playing an average of 2 hours per day. We all know many players log 10-12 hours per day on the regular. I don’t care how you choose to spend your free time but at least be honest with it so people aren’t misled into thinking they can accomplish in 2 hrs what takes people 10+ hours to accomplish. Turning on and off the console takes 2-3 seconds tops.

Exactly... the servers will boot you after a while of inactivity. It's been this way for years. Anybody claiming they can keep up with ALL this content by playing an hour or two a day is full of it 100%... I play at least 2 hours a day on average, and I'm not even close to keeping up with it. There's no way your convincing anybody who plays this game regularly you are keeping up with all this as a casual 10 hour a week player. It takes a ton of time to just complete the team affinity alone... nevermind the countless other stuff. You could be a God skillwise, but you still need to play the games and PXP 100's of players to be caught up. The people who have EVERYTHING done right now are hard core players, and simple as that.

I have a 6-4 ranked record and something like 20-25 coop games played with a friend. My son and I have done a bit of MTO and RTTS. I did do mini seasons during TA1. None is this comes close to accounting for 60 total days of nonstop game play which is what 1435 hours equates to. 60 days and the game has only been out for 69 days so which is more likely?
