It was already heading downhill pretty fast and this year between the obscene amount of glitches and bugs in the game, cheaters being exposed, bots manipulating the market, and lack of offline content to adequately earn XP and cards it’s like gasoline being dumped on the fire.

Enough is enough and moving forward I will play with my son a bit but my days of being excited to play and grind the game are over. It was fun while it lasted but not getting better anytime soon. Their current and future direction is crystal clear.

Maybe they know they have to fix it, but it's gonna be expensive, so they'll just not fix it for as long as possible. until it starts hurting their bottom line so bad, and then when it's unplayable and they've milked every last penny from us poor saps with their fraudulent product, they'll fix it.

I feel like we've made it to the end of that initial run now.

That’s because they aren’t looking to improve anything either by choice or lack of resources from Sony. I think this year is gonna lose a lot of long time players with all the issues. Sadly I don’t think they really care if they lose a lot of players as long as those left behind are willing to spend money.
