The interesting thing to watch is what will happen when all of the FOTF missions and cards are released.
Option A: since every Live and non-Live card (other than SE) is part of at least one mission, is there a deflation across the board in prices since there will no longer be a price distinction between cards that have missions vs. those that don't?
Option B: The desire to complete the FOTF missions and their SE Reward cards means all prices stay inflated through the entire season, and do not fall until the launch of PT 22 when some players will move on and the AH softens.
If it is Option B, that is a massive and fundamental change to the game, since the opportunity to earn points will be unchanged, while the cost to improve your teams has dramatically increased. Seems like it would be a real tipping point between the players who are FTP PT and support the overall game with annual license purchases, vs. those that want to inject supplemental cash into making themselves more competitive in PT.
The question then for FTP teams, themed or not, will be whether there is enough engagement and satisfaction in managing a team that migrates to a mid-level tier and then stays there.
