I've resisted stating such as I was fully prepared to give it a chance and really trying to, but this game has been a bag of wank since TOTY and I'm pretty convinced will remain as such until TOTS. There's simply no point playing it or grinding it in that time (unless you really enjoying doing those things in and of themselves) as the rewards are pointless.

6 to 8 weeks I spent on the free to play account and I haven't seen a single thing that would upgrade my team since just after TOTY, bar a handful of utterly unpackable cards.

They've completely fucked the power curve, there's no turning back and I think the only way forward from this point in future versions to avoid it happening again is to get rid of TOTY, which is obviously never going to happen.
