New updates are awful

I have been a player since launch and have spent a significant amount of money enjoying the game. The new updates today leave me extremely disappointed and considering leaving the game completely. Firstly the trading update is horrible - as someone with a large collection, i already own every card that is able to be traded. The only cards i am missing are higher rarity. My partner who is a more casual player does still need some of the tradable cards which I would be able to give her, however the trade token cost is so high that she simply is unable to generate the amount of tokens required.

Who is this trade feature for? It is simultaneously awful for paying players and casual players. It could be significantly improved if higher rarity cards were tradable and the cost to trading cards was more reasonable.

Secondly the update that removes the ability to wonder pick from the community is very disappointing. Seeing other players pull rare cards and then having the ability to add them as a friend for a chance to pull one of their cards was one of the best features. This type of game is centered around building a community and this poorly thought out update will damage the community that has been built.

Most of the money I have paid into the game was buying pokegold for wonder picks. There is no reason for me to spend any more money in the game after this update.

    Indeed, we can only trade low rarity cards from old packs, and we still need to consume cards to get few tokens, then also lose the card in the trading deal... this doesn't feel like trading, this feels more like paying a lot to get a simple card with the same rarity we are trading for.
