Adding to the cacophony, trading is awful

As a free to play player, I was excited to trade with my friends and family for the cards I wanted. I saved up my extra EX cards for that purpose. Then I found out that I needed to trade in all of the extra full art cards I had collected just to complete one trade, just to find out that the other party could not get more than 350 tokens.

This is awful. This is not trading. Rather than this token currency thing, which has conflicting interests with the flare system, trading should be locked behind a level minimum, like 25. This would remove the fear that people will make multiple accounts and trade with themselves.
