    I did and what I said was entirely true:

    1st reborn vs random S cards

    2nd reborn vs 1st reborn random S cards

    Random S cards are not worth it, especially not in rb.


    I understand and I'm gonna study that further (check the probablity to get a full set of 6 A cards rb2)
    Because you're.comparison is true but you assume that :
    - S cards are rb1 but not rb2
    - S cards are not part of a set

    And I'm not sure that getting a full rb2 A cards set is that cheap and easy.

    Well the chances of getting specific A-Cards are way better. It depends on luck tho. I guess I already openened a total of around 2k A-Packs in total since the introduction of the cards. That equals so many C-Packs (ok only partially they could have been C-Packs. A majority has been from quests/drake and so on) that you could have full r9r2 +10/12 a random twink with the profit.

    So ofc it is risky. But it's still worth it compared to what others have to endure to get even a single S-Card...ppl that spend 500 golds on s-packs to only get a single card are already far above my scope of investment.

    Wow 2000 A-Packs!
    I wonder how many unique cards you have and what war avatar title you have.

    Do you have full A card set already twice right?
    and only need 1 more A card to get the A card set reborn version?

    I got 119 dif. Cards so far. Still, I'm a very unlucky person. I know 2 persons that each only opened 1 a-pack each day and lack only one card of the set as well. So it is indeed very luck dependend and I never was really lucky when it comes to such things,

    I got 3 Cards of the set alrdy 1st reborn and 1 Card is alrdy 2nd reborn. 1 is unreborned and the last one is still missing. So no, I don't have a complete set yet unfortunatly...but it will surely boost my stats drastically once I get the final card, that's for sure (:

    I think those people are moreso extremely lucky than you being unlucky. Then again 5/6 means little. Getting the last one might take them 2 more years, maybe yours will come tomorrow ;)
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.

    "PWI2" do you mean the next expansion? We've had a lot of expansion before and nothing has changed for good on the administrative side. We are lucky if we can say that a expansion didn't break the game balance any further, but it usually does.

    This game you either accept it as it is, or just leave. China doesn't care about us, and PWI doesn't communicate our needs to them, nor they know anything about the game.

    I have to agree that I"m now at the point where I"m logging to talk to friends....

    I'm no longer interested in the new fashion, the new stuff in the cash shop... etc..
