Pack points update

Hi PTCGP dev team,

Thank you so far for your time and effort into developing this game. It's great that it can be either a casual game or more competitive, and anything inbetween depending on the type of player you are.

I started playing on day 1 and have a suggestion for the game:

So what I was thinking is when players get more then 2 of that card they can exchange it for pack points, and it would work kinda how the trading is.

you can exchange any card for pack points if:

  1. You have 3 or more of that card
  2. It CANT be a promo card

when players exchange the card for pack points they could get half or the full amount it costs

Ex). If I got a card that costs 70 pack points, if I exchange it I would get 70 pack points.

Ex2). If I got a card that costs 70 pack points, if I exchange it I would get half of the full amount, so I would get 35 pack points

    This would be an incredible edition to the game.

    Is there any update on this?

    Totally agree with this thought on pack points!

    There's got to be some movement on this!

    You wish lol I would be happy if they also reduced the points cost of each card....

    But players have been asking for those both things since day one, and they never changed it… so I don't believe they will ever do that, don’t forget in the end it's all about money for them.

    Unfortunately, despite this being an awesome idea I really don't think they will make a move in that regard.

    People have been asking to improve pack points since day one. They really seem to be willing to keep them as they are so they are nigh useless and you have to spend money to get cards. Actually, the way they work right now could also make you spend money to buy more packs and increase the points. That's all there is to it.

    An improvement on that side will probably only happen under desperate circumstances when the game is about to die due to players quitting.
