LOL TV, I'd be interested to see how long your note would've been had i not tempered your initial reactions! nice points though, even i have been forgiving about alot of the things you mentioned.

I'd like to clarify my earlier point. in my opinion, R7s are still a cut above R6s. but this is ONLY because I only bother to get the R7s which have a special ability that does critical attack/triple attack. all the other ones are useless and I don't even bother going for. this is specific to my case, yes the other R7 special abilities are useless and make zero sense to employ. and therefore it would be true that a deck full of R7s with those crap abilities can be easily overtaken by an R6 deck. i still stand by my point though that pricey upgrading and bc reduction is not the way to temper deck inflation; and despite that issue, no one has complained about deck inflation in probably a year now. no one cares about that anymore.

after thinking about upgrading more, upgrading raid cards in a raid is not excessively expensive. they offer sufficient medals to be able to do a half upgrade ie: it takes about 3000 medals per half, and it takes 3000 pulls to actually get a half, so there is sufficient support to say that you could use the 3000 medals you pulled to upgrade that half. I believe this is the reason behind the costliness of upgrading:  they picked a "rarity" level to allow for us to pull these great cards 1/3000 and set the upgrade level to that equal amount. so that at a preliminary level makes sense. However, there still is the MTM upgrading that needs to be done, so ok, we are 30% down on upgrade material based on that. suuuuure, i think i can deal with that. but then come the rewards, which will then require 9000 gold medals to fully upgrade and mtm (which they most likely did not account for at all). This is what i believe the thought process was. Again though, i bet that the complaining about upgrading will halt quite a bit if they made it easier to upgrade first of all. on the cost side (they may be able to tweak).

also, i dunno if you've noticed, but for the past month the upgrade button is broken. you know when you upgrade something and then try to upgrade something else right after it? and your app freezes? this button wasn't broken before. why is it broken now? probably because its been overused. because its too freaking expensive or because i have to hit it so many times to fully mtm my cards!
