Elements. Fantasy cards game

[gorgonzola]

I figure in another hour or so I can have 500 points, get a lobotomizer and really start to focus on a solid deck. Progress on my main account is pretty slow going, though. I just don't think it's as hard as some people think for a newbie to get started. Just my thoughts.

You're not there yet. Once you get your solid deck, then your choices are
1) Smack down a level 3 element a zillion times. Yawn.
2) Struggle against Top50s, and make money very slowly, if at all.

It used to be you could have a fun, competitive game against a T50, earning 20+ or 60 coins a pop. Now, you've got 80 brain-dead games to get your first upgrade. More if you want to buy cards and experiment a bit.

Maybe this is where your main is at now?

Just tossing out some ideas to make the upgrade system more bearable: ...

These are OK, but I think that the real problem is the gap in difficulty between L3 and L4. We need a level that's as difficult and profitable as the old T50.
