Trading for 2 star cards
Hi team, the change from trade tokens to shinedust was great and I appreciate the effort that has been put into improving the game in this area.
But one thing that still should be really added is the trading for 2-star cards. I am not even mentioning Immersives (3-star) or crown cards as there aren't that many of them in the sets and I can see why the devs don't want them to be traded.
But this is not the case for 2-star cards. At this point it should be possible to trade them. As there are restrictions anyway (currency, trading stamina, you need to give a 2-star card away to get another one) I don't think a lot of people could complete the selection anyway. But it would allow players like me to replace 2,3 duplicates with 2-star cards we want and chase.
I think Shinies could be added to this too, but to be fair I am not invested in them as much. But with the current number we have I think it would be fair to let players trade Shiny against Shiny too.
