Trading system is broken
The trading system in this game has been implemented horribly. I was already not excited about the system when we found out we couldn't trade for 2* or promo but the costs to trade make this system unusable for most players.
I would honestly rather not have trading than have this terrible system for trading. It feels bad. It feels pay to win. It makes me not want to play the game anymore.
On top of the changes to wonderpick. It's clear that DeNA and the Pokemon company are just using this as a cash grab game and don't care at all about the community.

This trading system is worse than having no trading feature at all.
I wouldn't have played this game every day for the past 80 days if I knew it had no trading feature at all.
I'm waiting to see what they do and I'm hoping this outpour of feedback makes them fix their errors.

I'm honestly surprised they haven't reacted to all the negative comments yet… I don't know what they are waiting for, they really need to say something, if they keep ignoring this big issue it will only get worst... the game reputation it's going down each day without any response.
This lack of feedback will make them lose money… many players stoped investing and also play much less because the perspective is that they will not change anything, they even sent 500 Tade Token to everyone in game… this feels like they aren't planing on removing the Tokens or lower the cost… 500 are the most expensive trades.
They should learn from TCG Live… look how they ignore the player base and how so many people hate them. So TCG Pocket please don't follow TCG Live steps… be smarter.

The cynical part of me says they haven't responded to the feedback because they hoped people would be too enamored with Space-Time Smackdown that they stop caring about trading, or they hoped the 500 Trade Token "gift" would shut people up.
I hope they're thinking carefully about their next move and brainstorming their solution because they don't want to rush into an equally bad solution.

Trading the unknown can have a simple fix.
All that needs to be done is add the feature of letting us mark one of our binders as trade. We can make it our favorite for friends to see what we have for trade.To go even further. Make a Binder where we can add cards we don’t have so others can see what we are looking for.

@Heliosanctus Well, they have responded now, but their response it's so vague that it basically means they acknowledged players negative feedback and in the future they will try to make changes.
But there is no deadline or even a hint about what will change or when... so meh...
I don't believe they will change anything any time soon, and even if they change it will probably be reducing a bit the required tokens to trade or/and reward a bit more trading tokens in events from now on.
If this is it I bet many players will still be mad at them.

@DoubleCure I posted a response to their response but it is still pending approval.
I find it hard to view their response as anything other than doubling down: they were already planning on distributing Trade Tokens during event distributions (the leak was that the February events would provide a whopping 50 tokens) and they haven't actually promised to change anything.
The only thing we can be confident about their response is that Trade Tokens aren't going anywhere, which means they aren't open to re-thinking this system in any meaningful way.
