Opening packs feels like a complete waste of time.
I've been opening several cases of packs per day for a long time now. I'm about to cross into day 131. My entire day consists of: Update prices on everything, then just spam open packs and refill my single card table. Thing is, The table doesn't even make that much money, even with several pulls of $200+ cards.

You make far more money simply NOT having a card table at all. People will buy more normal merchandise, about 50% boost to item sales just by NOT having a card table. This fishing for the single $10k+ card for the achievements is completely crushing my desire to play this game. Exp is slow as hell after level 30, and gets worse from there. I'm getting about 6-7k a day from all the packs I'm opening and it's still taking me 5+ days per level in the late 40's.

The game starts out extremely fun as you unlock new licenses and work on expanding the store, but by the time you hit 30 the exp is a slog. I'm going through over 3100 cards being opened every day only for the full art foil ghost card that's $10k+.

Something needs to change. Right now this feels both worthless and required at the same time. I have to do this for exp and to try for the card for the achievements, but at the same time it's both wasting my time and isn't worth any money.

you can just pack up the card table and wait for when you have a few 500+$ cards put it out then sell all that then just pack it back in again. it's what i do.

If you have WeMod, you can tweak out some of the pain points. I agree with OP about the opening of the packs taking a lot of time. There should be a way to just Mass Pull several packs at once - especially if you have lower tier packs and you're trying to get enough for Bulk Boxes.

The complaint and feedback... which is what that feedback button in game links to... right here... is that opening packs feels like it's a waste of time.

Glad someone said this! This game has been out for like...2 weeks. Take a breath and chill OP, or uninstall and come back in a year.

Hi. The feedback button in the game, links to this forum. So this is where the developer would like to receive feedback. My feedback is that it's more lucrative to NOT open packs or sell singles. Thanks for not reading.

If you're exhausted you may want to take a break, however if i understood correctly part of the problem is how much of a slog and boring it is. While I agree with what everyone has said about the recency of the game and the roadmap being a WIP, part of the problem of boredom you can fix if you automate the process. If you wanna afk you can download a pack opening tool to automate opening several boxes at once. I've made a video where i used one on my youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAKYqAP0y3w

It's less about the boredom of the pack opening. While that gets tedious as you're nearing that 10,000 packs opened achievement, the problem is that it just doesn't seem worth it in the end. It's a lot of work for little profit.

If I wasn't trying to get those two achieves (ghost/holo/full art and sell a $10+k card) I wouldn't bother at all. I'd just run a register or stock. Literally not having a card table means you make more cash and that's just weird.
