It indeed all is getting pretty complicated. I do know and understand that they want to generate revenue to keep on investing into the game, but by some choices they made, I do fear that they are pushing away some die hard players.
Also, I do think that the soul bound reward cards could have a negative impact on SPS. If you do want to cash some earning, this is the only thing you could sell. This could flood the market.
I am getting more bullish about the new developments and plans.
I am also bullish about SPS, despite the potential selling pressure coming to replace the constant selling of reward cards.
