Special Event Card - Why?

I've been BUYING cards here as a "Loyal Customer" since 2008. If you want to screw around with turning people into "gambling *****" to get them to spend outrageous amounts of money with no guarantee of winning the card(s) they want, do it to the NEW customers. Let me...a LOYAL customer for over 10 years...just BUY the damned card if I want it.

Is Totem LOSING MONEY because I refuse to gamble to get the cards I want? They most certainly are. They are losing MY money because I refuse to spend it by having to gamble it for the card(s) I want to BUY. I have ALREADY spent money that I used to spend here at other sites (and they aren't related to Totem in any way) to get pics and videos of many of the models available here.

Case in point? Sky Blue has 7 cards currently. I would have bought ALL of them if I didn't have to GAMBLE to get ONE of them, but I haven't bought ANY of them because she is (or has become) a "milk the customer for as much money as possible" model. So Totem has lost SEVEN purchases from me instead of just one. I get Sky Blue pics and vids from other sites where I spend my money for them to just BUY them instead of having to gamble to get one of them there. And that applies to other "event card" models here too. There are MANY other model cards I would have BOUGHT here if I didn't have to gamble to get ONE of them for that particular model.

Totem already gives me a DISCOUNT for being a previous BUYER of cards in enough quantity to be considered "loyal". If they want me to REMAIN loyal, LET ME BUY THE CARDS I WANT WITHOUT HAVING TO GAMBLE to get them. If they want to charge me FULL PRICE without my discount for the "event card", I could even live with that. But quit treating me like a brand new customer you want to turn into a gambling ***** to milk as much money from as possible. That is just an incredible insult to someone who has been a loyal card BUYING customer for over 10 years.

You'll still make increased profits from the "gambling *****" you create, while continuing to reap the profits from my card PURCHASES I would make (but don't make now by my refusal to participate in gambling BS).

Screw your new customers AND keep your old LOYAL ones at the same time.

Sorry, but I did not translate your text, because it makes no sense. I don't want to waste my time.
This is not a rare thing, which can be a long debate or brag to friends . It's just porn.
This morning I came up with a very simple and easily doable rule for myself.
Some time ago, I created a thread where I was outraged about too few cards with Blake Eden and Jillian Janson (only 4 cards each). And I was told that the new Studio did not meet the time. Is this the excuse of professionals?!
I will not buy cards piece by piece, as I often did before. Now I will wait for all the cards with the model I like. If only one card will be in the category " Special.."then I'll buy five cards and forget about the sixth. If two cards in the category " special.."then I don't buy-4 is too little. Blake Eden and Jillian Janson are the last favourites who have only 4 cards each.

Manue, I read this topic earlier. It doesn't change anything.
Interest will drop. Cards in this category will age inevitably and the desire to buy them will fade.
Special Even Card is the idea of one person from the team (always one person). He (or she) voiced this idea, colleagues liked it and implemented it. And I hope that someone from the team will come up with another idea and ask the question: "Why the hell are we still not selling these cards?"

And then there will be predictable events. In the future, on the eve of any holiday (perhaps Christmas), you will create a theme in which you write that by popular demand of users, we conferred, decided to put part of the cards "Special" for free sale.
Regular visitors to the forum will clap their hands and say how generous you are.
I'll just wait.

We are not taking issue with you disliking certain aspects of the way on which Totem make certain cards available to their customers, only to your assertions that this it is a bad business practice and that is rarely if ever encountered in other businesses. That which you are objecting to has long been a very common practice in all sorts of businesses.

Consider, for example, Pokemon cards. Some of these are extraordinarily rare because the company making them quite arbitrarilly decided to only produce a very small number of them rather than the thousands or millions that that could have produced.

The website https://www.ranker.com/list/most-expensive-pokmon-cards/mariel-loveland has the following when talking about one particular card

How Much It's Worth: Up to $195,000

Why It's Worth So Much: This card was given only to winners of the CoroCoro Comic Illustration Contest in January 1998. Only 20 to 39 of these cards exist in the world and only 10 are in mint condition. As of October 2019, it is the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold.

What Totem are doing with the Special Event cards is entirely analogous to the above - and much less extreme. What they are doing in the gambling games in general, for non-special event cards, is also very close to the way Pokemon cards were sold in packs where you did not know exactly what you were buying until after the purchase. Please note I said analogous to, not identical with.
