Hey @gunsmithing, while I realize some of the tings you say are true, I also think some are getting fixed. For instance, the prices of the alphas are higher on average, particularly the golds. But that's not the point I am making. I'm trying to point out that they are TRYING and they have forgone the revenue from the new edition of pack sales (the orbs) in order to help to solidify the card values for all current and future card holders. Will it work in the long run?? I don't know, but I do know they are trying and did a very very good thing here. All the other points you bring up are things that are well known and factored into the whole atmosphere. I personally love to see them put the card holders first and think that they took a giant leap towards earning back credibility from anything done in the past. Of course it is just one action, but in my opinion it is huge. I'm pointing all this out to help you see what I see. But its certainly ok if we disagree on it :) ... Thanks for stopping by the post and making your points!!!
