Not a fan of the limit on purchases in the item shop

Been playing since yesterday and already blew through the amount of timers I can buy in the item store.

Just wondering what the logic here is since now I feel like there's not much of a reason for me to keep playing until I'm able to purchase items with my tickets again.

    Yup. I agree. There’s also no timer shown, so it could be a week or a month until the items are available for purchase again, nobody knows. Shop tickets are already a restricted currency, so this is unnecessary and frustrating.

    At first i thought it was a daily limit and was ok with it. But if it is a weekly or monthly one, it limits replayability

    I agree with that.
    I don't understand the limit too. i would prefer no limit, and be free to use my tickets how i want.

    I hope that the stock of hourglasses in the shop will refresh either weekly or monthly. Seems like you have to play consistently to maintain a good stack of shop tickets, so it would be nice to reward players for doing so.

    There are laws in certain countries that require mobile games like TCG Pocket to have these restrictions on how much you can spend due to their intended audiences and to help curb mobile gaming addiction.

    That doesn't sound good at all… from all the negative shared experiences around here anyone else is starting to get the feeling this TCG Pocket will be a flop?

    For sure I don't think it will be bigger then Pokemon GO like many were expecting.

    The game seems to have a monthly system for items to reset it seems. I'm not sure if it's per player or for the duration of the current Packs availability. I was wondering why there isn't a easy way to buy more packs but seems they don't want people spending too much money on this game too soon before there is more cards to keep players hooked into collecting more cards

    I think it is partially because its supposed to be a 'trading' card game. But no matter what people 'trade' money instead of cards themselves. Once card trading is implemented there should be less need to spend money to get cards you want. Sorry to those already spending but if you are patient I'm sure the collecting cards will get easier depending on how exactly the trade system will work.
