Trade Token rates make actual trading untenable

I was excited for the launch of the trade feature but once I saw the costs, my enthusiasm quickly fizzled out. I had been saving my rare cards with the intent to first complete the set of Genetic Apex, and then maybe trade for flairs on the various rare cards I regularly play with.

However, the sheer difficulty in acquiring Trade Tokens renders the trade system of little use unless you already have drastically more rare cards than you

    Even if the rates were low, it would still be untenable.

    Destroying your cards to get a new one you need is a Crafting system. Mixing it into a Trading system pairs the worst parts of Crafting systems with the worst parts of Trading systems.

    Trade Tokens either need to be removed altogether or need to be obtained in a repeatable way without sacrificing cards.
