Have to vent

as if tcg pocket cant get any worse. I absolutely despise. I abhor, wonder pick… not only doe it take days to have a 20% chance at a random card you might want. You have 80% chance of losing the card you want. Ive only gotten one card i tried for. Every other time its disappointment. Its designed to make you hate the app. I wouldnt mind if the token reloaded hourly or quicker, or if each token allowed you to pick a card from the selection, but this gambling system is utterly despicable. It is a feature of the app that leaves me with a sense of dread everytime i open it. And the app is quickly losing its positives, without being able to acquire cards quickly and desirably.

    It's not designed to make you hate the app. It's designed to make you spend more money on Poké Gold.

    I've suspected since the beginning that Wonder Pick is weighted based on rarity too and after 650 picks now, I still think it is.

    I almost exclusively wonder pick for EX Pokemon and I only seem to get the card I want roughly 1 out of every 30 picks. Of my 650 picks, I've gotten the card I wanted maybe 30 times vs the 130 it should be closer to.

    Throughout the release of Shining Revelry, I wonder picked:

    -Giratina EX 12 times: Only got 1

    -Tinkaton EX 18 times: Didn't get a single one

    That's over 1,000 hours/hourglasses wasted

    So if you're wonder picking for EX, just be prepared to get what you're aiming for less than 5% of the time. 20% is a lie.
