While I don't agree with cards being in the cash shop, that is not pay to win. When you have something that will give you a significant advantage that cannot be obtained outside spending real money, then that is pay to win. If they added the ability to buy some 2 and 3 star cards in the cash shop, but those same cards are obtainable in the game (like winning them from an NPC), then that is not pay to win.. that would be "pay to save time".Quote:

People are not reading half of what I said and jumping to conclusions, as I will point out below by including quotes from the topic post that were apparently looked over.
Mine, all mine entails not yours, yet in my topic I clearly said "I would not want my fellow TT players to be locked out of a card forever." That implies everyone, not self. Also for your 2nd post accusing me of complaining and making assumptions, since you assumed that I assumed Yoshi and team did not already have any plans to make card available again, I edited in a sentence at beginning of topic post. This topic was an 'if' topic. I figured most would be smart enough to realize this since none of us know the plans yet. That should of been obvious.Quote:

Complaining is something those people do that do not get something that others have gotten. I also made it clear I dislike the cash shop solution.Quote:

Even in games like Magic the Gathering, the winning card is usually a holographic version, or different artwork version, of existing card or a new card, but these cards are still available to the masses. Only the parts that do not affect gameplay are exclusive to the winner, aka vanity of the card. -

What is this tournament thing about? And I recall reading that everyone will be able to get all cards too 0_0.

That would take care of your bolded concern just fine. It WILL get nerfed and easier to obtain to make way for new prizes thus explicitly making it easier for your fellow TT players to get. This is Squares modus operandi with this game and I have no idea why you think it won't happen here too such that you feel the need to tell them to do what will already happen and has already happened in other in game systems.Quote:

02-26-2015, 01:59 AMh0tNstilettosI did not ignore anything. I replied to that in last post about your accusations that I am making an assumption about something, and mentioned I even edited the beginning of topic post since it should of been obvious.Quote:

That's why I suggested that tournament cards be on a rotation. -
02-26-2015, 03:05 AMDenebPunkinHave YOU seen the card? I dont get why SE has to push Lightning so hard as "OMG sooo stronk", but the other cards with double A's have nothing higher then a 5 as the other 2 stats. She has a 9 and a 7, and a total power of 36, 7 higher then the only other 4 power level 29 cards... and those dont have a single A. Heck they made her more powerful then her male blueprint/counterpart Cloud.... They made her more powerful then frikking Bahamut.. unbelievable. -_-.Quote:

This tournament is in no way the only way to get cards this good. There are even other cards with two A's making them in some ways more powerful than this card. Trying to act like this card is so strong it makes or breaks the game is in no way accurate. She even has a 1 on one side making her clearly a wall card and there are other cards way more flexible and just as powerful. Just pointing out that this card IS powerful doesn't change the fact there are plenty of other equally powerful cards.Quote:
