    Maybe the second game-breaking exploit—the infinite ranked reward glitch? (Patched in 1 day, but the damage was done)

    Was it when you found out third-party servers could freely unlock rare card boxes, sleeves, and cosmetics—syncing them to your official account—while you'd wasted money buying them legitimately? (Still unpatched to this day)

    Or is it simply because PTCGL still won't let you directly challenge friends to an Expanded format match?

    Or is it because PTCGL still lacks full Expanded format support altogether?

    Or just the constant, relentless gameplay bugs?

    What makes me furious is that the development team seems to never listen to players' feedback, and their self-absorbed updates are making the game worse and worse.

    In January 2023, you couldn't accelerate energy. However, it did nerf Lugia VSTAR.
