Below is a paste of a standard reply from Mobage that they use when people report about not the Tiered SB purchases. Let's take a look at this.

"I know how frustrating a bad card draw can be, however there is good reason for the design - please allow me to explain.

''While game development teams strive to ensure that their paying customers are properly rewarded, they also need to ensure that their games do not degenerate into true pay to win models. If they make SR and UR cards too easy to acquire, than they create a situation where a player who pays instantly becomes far stronger than a player who does not."''

'''It doesn't look like paying customers are properly rewarded to me. Also this game is the very nature of a "pay to win" model. Tell me someone that could "win" this game without spending a dime? Also, is there not currently a situation where a player can instantly become stronger than a non paying player? Let's not forget that they introduced a $30 guaranteed card pack. Doesn't this go against what they state?'''

"The other problem developers face is that if we make those cards easy to acquire, then their value will begin to plummet as more and more players begin to add them to their decks. It wouldn't take long before the coveted UR card of today becomes the unwanted rare card of tomorrow. They make these cards rare to draw because when a player does acquire one, they want that card to provide the player with a significant boost in power and long lasting value."

'''How long are UR cards really staying in the deck? With each episode, the cards and the bosses are just getting stronger. 5 or so events, cards won from prior events are falling off the deck anyways and if your a Tier 1 player, oftentimes purchased cards SB cards outlive their usefulness after the event. Long lasting value indeed!'''

As a business, they have every right to make money but doing so without integrity is plain wrong. Mobage's actions seem to conflict with their very own values. Regardless of how much one spends, taking care of every customer is also something they should strive for. If there is a  glitch in the game, they should take care of it.

@ StarScreamG1 , definitely bring this to Hasbro's attention. I will gladly sign and support this action. Although I haven't spent a ton of $$ in the game, the hours that have spent are into the hundreds. Nostalgia for my favorite toys and this great community is the only thing keeping me in this game at this point. The least they can do is fix their errors and actually respect their customers.
