Pack Openings

[daveydigi420]

Getting really tough to stay engaged in this game due to inflation of relevant cards and lack of useful cards from pack openings. I consider useful cards as those that are in recent missions (within 60 days), can possibly be plugged into your PT lineup, or can be sold for at least double their QS value. After you've been playing awhile, it is disheartening to see only duplicates a vast majority of time, with a silver or lower that you don't have cropping up rarely. I was thinking that with every card release, it becomes more difficult to draw a "useful" card because of the number of cards in the pool. During the early season, the odds of pulling a particular gold or diamond non-live for example was one-out-of-a much smaller number than it is now. In years past we have removed some of the older cards from the overall pool, and I think that helps keep players engaged by not drawing so many duplicates. Maybe you guys are already doing this, but just wanted to throw it out there. It's getting really tough to keep playing.

Also, is it possible to make the odds of pulling a non-live card the same as all others in the same category? For instance, if you pull a non-live diamond, all non-live diamonds are not equal odds. I don't know how you guys have it set up, nor are you going to tell me, but it's not the same as the odds in a spotlight pack for example, where the odds are split between all the possible cards in that category. Hence why I have five Judy Johnson (93) cards, L10 4446, and am missing many future legend cards, etc. Level the odds within the category, and remove super-old cards from the pool, and this thing might get fun. Am I alone on this one? Thoughts on this?

cards have never been removed from the pool in teh past. variants have (and were this year), and then there were the platinum series limited time stuff, but cards have never been pulled out of standard packs because they were old
