THATS WHY WEVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!
But I completely agree with you. Don't fall for cd's trap. They're all about money
I think what bothers me right now is this:
They've confirmed all the RttCs going forward are the new format. 3,878 points and the reward is 8 Playoff Cards and two POTG Singles. Those Singles, I can guarantee you, will never appear anywhere else for free (with the exception being top-25 in the RC ... so this next RC may give out three, I guess? ... but top-25 is an investment of 40-50 hours if putting out 75-100 points an hour ... at least, which costs a lot in Hot Streaks).
If you have 10 PO Pros, and you can fill in the rest of the 25 spots with SPros or better with team procs, you can +5/10 the final four cards. Bring that up to 15 PO Pros, and you can +14 the whole way, although you need to think about it a bit near the end. I was able to get my lap times (from the moment I tapped the +10 deck to the next time I tapped it) down to 2 minutes, 34 seconds for the last 45 minutes of the last RttC, and managed to get Igoudala with 13 seconds left in the event.
Assuming I can get myself to play that pace the whole way, that's 277 games to finish. RttC events run for 66 hours, and the last free game night cannot be used, so you get 263 free game nights along with the 5 you start with, which is 268. Every time you buy a 5 pack when empty, you lose whatever accumulated countdown to the next free one that had already occurred, so you'll lose some.
In any case, if your deck is as strong as mine and you sleep twice and otherwise grind it out as fast as possible, you'll buy about 1/2 of those game nights (2,800 credits roughly, plus ~2,000 credits more for hot streaks). So each of these RttC will cost around 5k credits. If I want to start right when it starts so I can get cards trained and on the AH first in hopes of making a profit, then it will cost me more.
That's assuming a market actually will exist for the cards. My approach will be to try and get half of the event done as quickly as possible and hope I can sell cards.
So I have around 34 hours to grind up and store XP in cards to train the 4 cards I hope to sell, and sleep.
I could keep going, but you probably all checked out awhile ago. I could probably write a journal article length essay on what CD is doing, what the underlying motives appear to be, and pointing out how they could increase revenue just as much, if not more, with a different approach.
I feel like perhaps they take these approaches that alienate so many players because they either have nobody in their management who is familiar with the trends in the mobile market away from their "Bleed the whales dry" approach ... or they have someone but that person isn't listened to.
I am a little embarrassed that I allowed myself to get caught up in such a predatory model. I thought I was a smart person, but take this as a lesson folks: Even if you know and are fluent in several languages including dead languages that very few people in the world can decipher, even if you are a University Professor making more than 1/4 million gross a year, even if you have an off the charts IQ and even if you know going into things that the model is a trap ... you can still get caught in it.
