i'm not saying it's grindy…i'm saying it's lack luster
it's a change no one asked for or wanted…we only get 74 tiers, we're getting tiers faster but we're getting less as a trade off
the premium pass was fine, you could get plenty of rewards even though it was slower gain but now we only get 1 line of rewards and some tiers are absolutely worthless
tier 18 is just a magneton and 100 credits…1 card and 100 credits for a full tier, anyone who says that's acceptable as a reward is blinding themselves

I somewhat agree. I think that TCG Live is a complete disaster, and I think the same about most of their other recent games— Unite is a mess of greed and microtransactions, and then there's the laziness with all the new pokedex entries for the new Scarlet/Violet games…
But I do really enjoy the TCG itself as a card game. But the optimization on Live is a mess, and the way they converted from the paper tcg to an online game was terrible. Online was doing so much better— I have no idea why they triggered the sunset. But as a TCG, pokemon is a great game.

For people that still don't understand how worst the current Battle Pass and Ranked Ladder are comparing with the previous we had, I recommend to watch this:

okay
two images of the two different battle passes
which one has more rewards?

Okay, I didn't count the credits (which you didn't even mention btw), so I'll take the L. You still seem extremely biased though.
The thing is that Pilot is also extremely biased so you both missed that you get 2100 extra crystals to use for buying the Shadow Rider deck for credits, which I guess is why you were trying to make a huge deal out of the cosmetics. Still seems like a wash to me, but I don't really mess with the cosmetics.

It's simple
The premium pass had only 50 tiers but two levels…the regular rewards and the premium rewards, technically you were getting 100 tiers of rewards
the new battle pass has only 1 level of rewards and only 74 tiers, sure gaining the tiers is easier, but we're missing out on extra packs, gems, coins, and more
