Yes, pack-only can be "hard" at times. "Sticking to your guns" (no AH purchases) can be hard to go through especially when you need one more card to complete a good mission reward, and it is available in the AH and only costs 40pp-60pp! Instead of "giving in", you battle the temptation for several weeks until you finally get your needed card in a pack that you open!
On the other hand, pack-only is so very rewarding when things go very well for my team and you pull good cards from your packs.
Also, pack-only frees up so much more free time since I am not "living" on the AH and wasting hours and hours of time every week, looking for a deal or a card that "might" work out well for my team.
As we all know, just because a card is rated a 98 or a 100, doesn't mean that player card is any good in the game and just because a player card does well on one team, he could very easily be a "total dog" on your team!  |
With a lot of effort (and more time than I now have), my best team in 21 has made 6 PeL playoffs, but it really (REALLY) wasn't very enjoyable putting together that meta team. My 21 packs team has made 1 Diamond playoff, yet each step of progress has felt so much more rewarding and enjoyable.
The missions are much better this year, so a packs team will steadily be fed with more rewards than in 21. So, even if things slow down at times, the next little buzz is always possibly just around the corner!
At this point, I can safely say that PT is the first game I've learned to enjoy not winning, however, OL has to take a lot of credit for that these days
