If players need some kind of immediate gratification without putting in a fair bit of effort to learn the game, then PT is not for them.
**not counting packs from missions. I'm leaving plenty of packs on the table by not playing perfect draft or live card quicks.

You are one of the most knowledgeable people here. However, very few others are content to buy a game in March and putter around all year to finally be pretty good in October. That works for you, and I appreciate that. Most people want to see a little ray of light here and there though. Since the transfer of power, that ray of light has shrunk to a mere glimmer.
My number one team has always been my most fun to play. I spend a little money on the
Colts during sales, I watch streams with them. I quit tournaments this year because of the BS they keep pulling in that part of the game. Now because of all they have done to alienate me and others with small pockets, I have more fun with my
NRM team that only uses players with those initials for their last name. This team is fun being limited by me, not them.
I am honestly at the crossroads of dropping OOTP altogether after this year. I hope I see that tiny glimmer of light begin to grow again as do many others. Else someday there may be only one league in PT and everybody can be in that Perfect Level buying players left and right to buy that pennant. Just like a league full of Steinbrenners. The Devs can make all kinds of fantasy cards at astronomical prices to be sold only on the AH. No packs will even be needed. All the Charlie Finleys with cool ideas but little or no money will be gone.
