This is not a trading system

"Trading" isn't even that - the concern of the trading system should be choosing a card of yours to give and finding someone who is willing to give the card you want. With this system, that's a fraction of the concern relative to finding FIVE CARDS of similar rarity to sacrifice.

I understand that it needs to be limited somehow. But use the stamina system to time gate it, don't make players ransack the collection they've worked so hard to build just because they want to trade with their friends in what claims to be a TRADING card game. The current system is broken and has thoroughly discouraged me from spending any more money, or even playing this game.

Way to ruin an otherwise exciting release of the most anticipated part of this game, and the only thing that makes it unique to other electronic card games.

    This thread says it all. This is exactly all that is wrong with this "trading" feature.

    Horrible cost (burning cards + tokens amount) and the trading mechanic itself (this is not how trading should work)!

    Btw the announcement was also misleading, you shown a trade costing 120 tokens (low rarity cards involved), but ex Pokemon actually cost 500 tokens! On top of burning many cards...

    I know that special events will award some trading tokens, but I don't care about that, I will not be waiting for those events and lose the opportunity to make a trade thay might not even be available by the time the event comes.
