I do feel I'm somewhat alone in my frustration with the pay2win (I guess I'm getting old and I'm from a different gaming generation). Sure some games are actually fun and competitive where you are able to beat someone with a better collection due to skill but how many of the games actually are like that. I don't rate it higher than 20% being quite generous on that. I also very much fear the new legendary Summoners. To me it really feels like the game plays itself and I would really love there to at least be a game mode where you 100% know that no player has any kind of edge based on their wallet.
I'm not sure yet where I stand on the entire validator node stuff, all I see is that prices went up quite a bit so no complaints there/
