I agree completely with rob. I may use upgraded cards but I have a FFQ build that I know for a FACT wins consistently with MASTERIES(which is like triple the average win really) so it gives great money. I've helped new players in the chat who just started build decks that can win T50 even though they can't afford upgrades. All the whining that you guys are doing is because you don't want to play for awhile and think of a good strategy that wins consistently. You want everything handed you to a silver platter while there are those of us who have played this game for awhile wo have actually taken the time to think through our decks and because of that we have kept winning through the slew of changes that Elements goes through. This is a FREE game that is great and its a CCG. In rl you wouldnt be able to just get any card you wanted like you can throuhg the bazaar. The way to make this game worth it is to make it so there is a grind and there SHOULD be something like upgrades that seperate players who put in the thought and work into this game. Its how it is in many other games such as MMORPG's and they don't complain about it at all. They just go to work on making themselves better. the only thing that I would agree with doing is make level 4 into T50 without upgrades and then make level 5 into what the T50 is now with a bit better rewards.
