I really want to thank SDS (all gaming companies really)

I was hopeful that the first 6-8 weeks of this game was just a feeling out process for you content direction but the changes to TA made yesterday really showed your thought process.
To that end, the grind is done. I will use the 3M stubs I have to buy whatever cards I want to use going forward until I get tired of the game (I mostly play coop with a friend).
So a big thank you for helping me figure out my time is better spent putting more time into my hobbies that actually bring me joy (and money as I build custom cabinetry and furniture for friends and family).
I would encourage everyone else frustrated by what has transpired to do the same thing. The only way things get better is by disengaging and finding more enjoyable ways to spend your time. Heck, volunteering somewhere would be better use of your time than giving it to these hacks.
I'm also hoping this is the exact same setup for next year because that will fully solifidy my transition away (and to never return) from your product. I also encourage others to start letting your wallet do the talking. We cannot keep rewarding these gaming companies to treat its customers the way they do - was any compensation given to switch users for the game being for unplayable for two weeks or for those of us who had our accounts wiped (regardless of how long it was gone for, i know i didnt receive anything)? I'm really not sure you guys even apologized lol
None of us would continue to shop at stores or restaurants that do to us what gaming companies do. We need to stop allowing our obsession and addiction to provide them the means to act in the manner that they have been trending towards. This is an US problem and the only way to solve it is to remove US from the equation.
FYI, I'm largely fine with most of the best cards being in packs. That really doesn't bother me in the least. This is entirely about how SDS has chosen to structure the "grind" this year.

Well said. I, too, have begun the walking away process.

I don't want to think about what next year will look like. Hopefully the whales haven't ruined this for everyone and grinding actually feels like accomplishing something positive

Free yourself brother. Lots and lots of other options out there for your time and wallet

Now that, is feedback!
Thank you for voicing you feelings about the state of the game, I’ve found myself losing the itch to play, especially online, and thank goodness for Co-op. But the offline grind for the TA cards had become exhausting ans well and I’m only doing it so I can get Willie Mays.

I think pulling back on gameplay is the best voice there is. They immediately see this. The second best is not buying packs and stubs (I never buy stubs and this year I haven’t bought a single pack).
Until gamers begin doing this, they will not listen to the complaints on their format and gameplay coding (except for the bugs, they have fixed some of them and who knows why they haven’t fixed the others).
This year I got involved coaching (assistant because I have no family in the system) our local little league until I had my heart attack. Now, I’ll play for an hour or two and then spend my time doing something else (more than likely napping). Finding other things to do and ways to spend time is a loud message to gaming companies.

I'm sorry to hear of your health issues. I hope you are on the road to recovery!
