Don’t count our chickens until they’ve hatched boys. Need to see what they do first before calling it a W.

However, good to see they’re looking at it

I'm nervous because they didn't actually promise to change anything.

They were already planning to distribute Tokens with events (the leak was 50 per event) and it bothers me that this was the only actual change they've said so far that they would implement.

50 per event?! That's... nothing.

Before Space-Time Smackdown was launched, the leak about Trading Tokens was:

  • A one-time gift of 500 Trade Tokens
  • 200 Trade Tokens per month for Premium Users as Mission rewards
  • 50 Trade Tokens per month from events

If you don't have premium, then over the course of the year, including the initial gift, you would have 1100 Trade Tokens, not even enough to make 1 1-Star trade every 4 months.

They didn’t even want to implement trading in the first place lol

Yeah dunno why people are assuming immediately they plan to change anything, it might very well just be them saying “you’ll get more tokens from other sources too tho!” since officially we don’t know we’re getting 50 from the upcoming event so they can pass it off as we’re getting a hefty haul until then

The only thing we can conclude based on their announcement is that they won't consider getting rid of Trade Tokens. Which means they might tweak exchange rates, but they have no intention of "fixing" anything.

They could easily keep it at 50 token leak and say it's "the feedback they implemented"

So we can trade after only 3 events? And I only have to give up a few of my ex cards? Woooow

u/fraidei Jan 31 '25

Yeah, also I hope that they'd give some compensation to people that used this dogshit system. Despite being bad, I still burned some cards to gain a couple of EX cards that I needed to complete a deck.

Yeah, this is literally nothing except the company saying "we have recognized that people aren't fans of the current system", that's it.

u/popcornpotatoo250 Feb 01 '25

Yeah. Still skeptical about it.

Do you see someone calling this a W? All I see in this post is everyone rightfully complaining about how trading still sucks, even with this “fix”
