Platinum Triad packs are similar to Ragnarok Online card drop rates.

I've been doing these tournaments (which can be Random/Random as a ruleset which is by far the most cancerous ruleset I've seen in any card game) for practically a year now. I always open around 3-4 packs constantly placing in top 10-20.

I don't know what kind of droprate these packs have, but it's absolute garbage. I've only gotten one Silver card in a year and it was Tidus. Worst off? Cards aren't unique. This game isn't sophisticated enough to check your deck to see if you have a card. So I very well could get Tidus again.

On top of rampant cheaters who get in the top 3 each tournament, the card drop rate is complete trash. I've gotten Shiva and Lahabrea dozens of times. Tataru used to drop Lightning Card, but I guess new players have to do the tournament a bit more than older ones.

Honestly, what was SE thinking with this implementation? There is nothing in this game that is more annoying and time-gated to farm than these cards. The only thing close are some achievements. The fact that cards aren't unique and can be gotten more than once and that the ruleset can literally make the match a coinflip is just really bad.

If you're in the top 20, you should get a voucher that you can turn in for a silver card. We have these with extreme primals for the ponies, etc (literally an easier farm). Hell, we even have it in Savage. I can gear up in Savage much faster and easier than I can acquire a silver card. I've spent less time getting a top tier chocobo and destroying every challenge.
