Limiting gem buy means u need to pay for this game to be someone.

1)The game is free and you can simply pay for cosmetics that has 0 impact on the gameplay, like team fortress and Dota 2. And these games do bring a lot of profit, otherwise they wouldn't have servers dedicated for them anymore, if it didn't.

2)Games that are free, but you can pay a little extra to get things faster, but nothing game relevant is locked behind a paywall. Example: league of legends and hearthstone (one can say that hearthstone is not f2p friendly, but, you CAN unlock all cards with the free gold you collect, it just takes time).

3)F2P games that have things relevant to the gameplay locked behind paywalls, which is kind of a scummy thing to do. Example: duel Links

By your classification Duel Links obviously falls into the 2nd category.Nothing is exclusively locked behind a paywall here. The only items you can't get without paying are cosmetic fluff such as sleeves and gamemats.

You cannot buy more than 1 structured deck with gems, locking from you the possibility of getting more than 1 sr from them, like DD warrior, and now you can't get more than 15 packs from the new box unless you pay for money

The point of the new box went completely over your head, didn't it?

The limit of 15 exists there for a reason, it's 1/4 of the box with guaranteed SR/UR in each pack for 200 gems which is crazy in value. Selection box is avaible for a week inc old boxes have to sell too.

Note that this is selection box vol 1. there' more coming in future perhaps 2nd anniversary.

And since when is D.D Warrior a splashable, 3x req'd card that is ingrained in the meta?

I'm not saying that Duel Links is fully free from standard f2p scummy shenaningans, but for a already mentioned f2p title, a card game that comes from by many a detested company, Duel Links is incredibly ethical and one can (having at least basic knowledge) play competitively and reach KoG without paying a cent (been there, done that).

u still not understand that they limit how many times u can buy a box as f2p. THEY LIMIT U? Can you understand wat does that mean? Wat happen later? Limit all boxes for 15 buyable by Gems. It will kill this game fast. If you are rich then go buy it and stop commenting here. This is an F2p issue.

I understand it well, way better than you seem to.
Thats why they wont do it. Selection box, sure, for it's crazy value and only 60 packs is limited.
Who the heck would buy 200 boxes with limitations.
Time to shake off your paranoia and take your medication.

It's a non-issue due to reasons explained in this thread. You're blowing this way out of proportion and you think that everyone countering your points is a godly whale.

I'm not a whale, and even I can see why they did this with this box to begin with. It makes sense because it helps old boxes stay relevant in a way, and it gives us a small preview of what to expect in the future. They're doing *all* players a huge favour *and* they give people the option to buy more packs *if they choose*. You're making it out to be a requirement to buy, while it is anything but.

None of it is technically p2w, because the overwhelming majority of the cards in the box can be obtained elsewhere too. This box temporarily gives all players a chance to 'catch up', and I for one am thankful for it because otherwise I would never waste my gems on older boxes for just a few cards I really want.

And think about it; sure the packs cost 200 gems, but you get 12 cards in one pack (the equivalent of 4 packs, which also costs 200 gems), with a GUARANTEED SR/UR. That's incredible value for the gem cost, since when you buy 4 packs of a regular box the odds of pulling SR's/UR's is significantly lower.

If you hate what's happening, just quit. It's that simple. Why keep playing if an obvious token of goodwill outrages you? Entitled much?

Being able to get 25% of the box for free is decent enough.

A box is about to get all cards not about 25% and other part for PAYTOWIN this is not EA this is Konami but I got a fealling about EA bought KONAMI.

I find this funny. As though KONAMI didn't also have a horrible reputation.

hey with them 1500 gems they gave us i made some great pulls got my first copy of mirrior wall and darkworld dealings, not that i play darkworlds but its still a solid card. you can win with out the cards hands down i'm legend rank 3 with out half the staples yeah sure it stinks it limited but u can obtain half the cards else where for cheaper, so its not the end of the world if you dont pull them this time around. Just look for the silver lining I mean its a game with micro transactions like most games if u enjoy the game they enjoy there pay checks for keeping the game avalible with new content for us.

The fact people are still arguing over whether a mobile game inspired by an irl p2w concept is p2w or not is honestly amazing. I would take this game over buying multiple irl card packs (4 bucks a pop!) any day. At least I can soak up free gems for a while if I want, you typically can't mooch a free pack of cards irl.

If you want to be in the current meta at all times, yes you will probably need to spend money. That is inherently how card games of this nature work and frankly isn't new.

this game is much better than hearthstone or duel champions based on freebies and events, still people complain, either you are clueless about games like that or i dont know.
try to get some stuff like this in hearthstone for free (top legendaries event? nah) they will give you 3 random packs or gtfo. rest cards you buy will perish out of standard format rotation soon so happy grinding for nothing in hs.
to the new players: stop plistening to these ♥♥♥♥♥♥ clueless posts, instal game and try yourself, you will get tons of free stuff that veterans worked for year and thats why they are sour because some new guy who started game, have now chance to get stuff, they grinded, with no effort particulary.
yes i agree there should be some events just only for veterans too, maybe some very hard missions to complete for someone who has a loto f cards.

btw for login 6 days in row during event you get: 3 SR and 3 UR - 1 tickets prismatic for each type, how this is not good attitude?

buncha broke bois wanting a free game n evberything free and not realizing its a tcg still, just digital. get a job or play something else if u feel the need to have every card and every top tier deck
