I now feel compelled to walk back my rant from yesterday a bit. I still don't dig on the concept of "Special Event" cards. My rant was about making collectors go through the Black Friday obstacle course and the Casino Royale horseshit from two weeks ago. For my purposes, as a full-collection kinda guy, I heartily approve of this weekend's promotion! Personally, I would LOOOOOOVE it if Totem would let us purchase next month's cards in advance EVERY MONTH - even without the additional discount! The additional discount is pretty sweet, though 😉 I can certainly understand, however, that Totem isn't necessarily 100% certain how many cards will be made available for purchase for the next 30 to 31 days. I'm not a fan of dangling an otherwise unobtainable card as an incentive to purchase a full month's cards. Personally, as a collector, I would accept such a promotion without the additional cherry on top. Don't get me wrong - I very much appreciate the cherry!
Here's an idea: Instead of offering a month's worth of cards to include a "Special Event" card AND a discount, why not periodically offer a full week's worth of cards with NO discount but with the inclusion of a "Special Event" card for free? I would think that would satisfy both full-collectors and more discerning collectors.
Perhaps this idea (or something similar) has been presented previously. Please forgive me if this is the case. Anyway, What d'ya think?
no
I don't want cards i don't want, how much simpler can i express this?
As a "bonus" from the scratch and sniff sh!t i have a hand full of low res crap cards i never will watch.
I don't mind special events like that for the steampunk card. No reason to buy into it if you don't want, because the card was made public two weeks later.
And i repeat my argument, if Totem wants to sell cards they should produce good ones. PERIOD.
On the other hand, i decided to never buy credits again, so i'm just here watching the ship go down and having fun on the ride while spending the last credits.
