Oh, and I also disagree with all variations of "combine X of some card to get a different card" things. R4s are supposed to be rare, combining cards removes that completely.

Obviously the game developers WANT you to only get half a card at a time, otherwise it would be trivial to walk through the events every time. Yes it is random, and I hate random myself, but what other way can you make it a bit of a challenge when there are no physical reaction time type components to an event. Then you have to rely on randomness.

Also, believe it or not, the randomness reduces the pay to win aspect of the game. If everyone could just buy every possible MTM for the same amount of cash every time, the game would devolve.

Trading is another thing that will never happen, creating multiple accounts and farming stuff would happen all the time in that case. That breaks the game as well.
