Trading is awful. Cost is way too high.
For two players to trade 1ex card between themselves they each need to burn through 4 ex cards to have enough currency to trade! It's ridiculous.
Insatifaction with trading and battle event
First the trading is tremendously horrible. In order to trade 1 EX you need sacrifice 4 others EXs or 5 1 star rare, it is to much high of a price to pay, those cards do not drop that frenquently to usein thia way. It realy descourage trade, and for reminder the game have tranding in the name, it is and absurd and lack of…
Very disappointed by trading
For a card game based in name around trading this is a huge letdown. It seems that the developers were so concerned with potential misuse they went overboard and made it unusable for casual players. Limiting players to one trade a day or require them to be friends for a week, but this system of destroying cards is going to…
The trading system is basically just a restricted crafting system
Devs might as well rename trading to crafting and remove the need for a friend and we basically get a better system than what we have right now. Can't even trade PROMOS, lol.
Day 1 PTCGP a Failure. Possible Rectification?
I think we all know by now it's pretty clear no one is happy with the Trading system. Ways to improve: Make trading costs at least half of what they currently are. Add free trading if you subscribe to Premium. Let those already paying monthly subscription enjoy the game without being paywalled and having to sacrifice…
Trading needs an overhaul
hey in the off chance a developer sees this please read through and consider changing the system for trading because I have two friends I play this game with and it feels terrible that I can’t give them cards they need because they don’t play as religiously as I do and the trading system isn’t stopping me from spending…
Does the trading system in PTCGP need to be reworked?
This system is very controversial in it's current state. Do you think the system needs to be disabled or reworked?
Fix this greedy trading system. Premium cancelled + 1 star review
Remove tokens altogether or dramatically raise exchange rates by several magnitudes, allow for commons to be exchanged for tokens, allow for communication, marketplace or wishlisting to facilitate trade, allow for multiple offers at the same time, allow for promos to be traded. Cancelled my premium and left a 1 star…
Trading System is Outrageously Flawed
So basically, about trading Not only is trading cards limited by having to consume hourglasses Not only is it limited by having to trade cards within the same rarity Not only is it limited to 1-4 diamond and 1 star cards Which are all things we already knew But it is ALSO LIMITED by having to consume tokens to trade 4…
Disappointed with the game
The trading card system is so unusable and unfair, I won't ever be able to use it nor do I want to. Please fix it. I can see this ruining the game if these types of decisions continue being approved and realized.
