I guess my point wasn't clear. If you buy a pack of cards and the prices of the cards you get, is constantly diminishing due to inflation, why would I buy packs? The cards are so cheap on the market that it makes buying packs a gamble with increasingly worse odds when it's just cheaper to get what you want off the market? Market needs correction as it's running saturated, so why introduce another expansion further diluting the supply when we are saturated? This is a play to lose model for anyone new coming in. I understand that there are big things coming and this might bounce back, but this is not enticing for new comers.

Your point was clear, my reply remains the same. Packs have always been lotto tickets where a person can potentially win a GFL or GFE or GF Summoner for the price of the pack itself. Its the chance of hitting those cards for $4* that is the appeal. That is why players purchase them knowing most times they will have negative ROI at the time of purchase. Buying directly from market or private sale has always been the smarter play and likely always will be and that is likely how it always should be if we want to sustain a healthy player driven resale market.
Okay, true, but this perspective will diminish as cards keep losing value. And right at the point when you think markets stabilize, boom, new expansion. Further dilution. This ultimately, will deter not only new users but us die hard sad well.
Don’t get me wrong ,I am optimistic, but how may out there would go through the onboarding to see such inflation and decide this is for them.
It’s like they are lowering card vale to pump SPS with the new expansion. Maybe this is a smart tactic, maybe I’m too stoned.
I would like to see the next expansion drop after land is well stablished.
