So I've been on the forums for quite a bit, over three years. I was even a mod at one point. However I still cannot figure out why cards are priced so highly.
Many of the cards available require hundreds of thousands of credits. This results in users spending months and almost years saving up for these cards. I feel like the high prices were implemented as a challenge for users. A user would be more enticed to spend time on the forums so they could save to buy the card they want. But I've found that this has led to spamming, which nobody enjoys. In addition, I know a lot of users, myself included, have just given up on collecting certain cards because of the ridiculous amount of credits they are. All of us just want to support our faves by purchasing their cards, but this has become impossible.
I'm not saying that we make them free, but maybe just lower the cost a bit.
I don't see how changes can't be implemented. It's not like we're paying real money to the forums when we buy these cards. Credits are useless online currency that are only valuable on this forum.
But I also don't want to discredit the iShop Managers that do create the cards. You all 100% deserve praise and recognition for making so many of these amazing cards and other items. I want to thank you for all of your hard work. However, wouldn't you rather the cards you make actually be bought because they are affordable.
I would appreciate it if any admin, mod, or iShop Manager could shed light on why they are so expensive. That way I'll at least have a little understanding.
I doubt posting this will bring about change. But I'm hopeful that maybe one day I'll actually be able to purchase the cards I want without mass posting and saving for long periods of time.
If you agree with me, I hope you can support this thread.
Thank you!
