Non-Live 100s are a whole universe within the larger universe of cards where there are CERTAIN 100s that everybody needs to get and you can pretty much only get them if you are VERY lucky or willing to drop BIG $ on the game, which... fair enough I guess but I agree with your assessment that beyond a certain point the fun factor drops off significantly.
I think the only reason these kinds of games are free to play is just to fill in the pool of active users to create an in game economy that makes it fun to play for the much smaller pool of people who have the money and the dedication to chase these truly "Perfect" cards and get to the top of the mountain so they can have bragging rights over other similar minded users, most of whom they will never actually meet. Then the next year the whole thing starts over from step 1.
Whatever.
Personally, as a no/minimal money player I have managed to build 3 teams up to be competitive at Silver. I win the Silver league and then the same roster gets annihilated at Gold the next week. Back down to Silver. Lather, rinse, repeat.

You made some really great comments and I agree with lots of your assessments.
I feel that if they wanted people to try and spend a little more they wouldn't block you out of ever moving up. It's interesting how you can build a team with speed, power and defense (according to their player numbers) and then that team loses to teams with no balance but that own the "chosen" players. It makes me not want to spend a nickel more on this game but just compete at a lower level. I think they shoot themselves in the foot by not having more players play to their category ratings.
But thanks so much for your insight!!!
