As a preface, don’t take what I am saying here as acceptance of the status quo. There is clear need for improvement.
That being said, it is going to be a near impossible task to satisfy us as a group. Let’s just suppose that the ability to purchase points was removed. It’s not going to happen but for this exercise let’s say that the crew came out and said that PT is now FTP only. Within a matter of days we would be up in arms about how lucky you need to get with packs to build a top team and how unfair it is that some people have the time available to stay active in tournaments all day. There would be a downward price pressure without the flood of points from those who have been willing to drop serious coin but that would be countered by a much lower supply as well as many of those people spend points on the packs which are needed to stock the AH.
The frustration is also fueled by the fact that PT has a clear pinnacle and visibility into every league at all levels. Most games operate in a relative fog where all you know is that you want to progress more than you have. I think it hurts PT that we all know there is a single Perfect League at the top of the heap which is out or reach for all but a few.
I have no doubt that Markus and team are working to figure out the best balance to maintain interest. I just don’t envy their task.
