No trading?

I, for the life of me, cannot understand why we would be unable to trade cards/packs like in PTCGO. Part of the fun of this game is trading cards (hence the name "TRADING card game") and working towards building a deck you like. Is there any reason at all this feature is not making it over to the new version?

    Welcome to the Pokemon Credit Card Game Live!

    Jokes aside, you have an honest point, trading is in the name, it should be in the game. But i do understand why they removed it. It's very hard for beginners to get into the TCG let alone obtaining the cards to compete in the TCG. It's a bit rediculous to trade 40 packs for 1 Arceus VStar of which you need 3 to even have an equal chance in the meta.

    These credits and gems make cards a lot more accessible and expensive meta decks are now less expensive.

    But I agree that they should re-introduce trading in some form in the future, and in a more user friendly and optimized way than they did in PTCGO.
