Exactly

In competitive online games, only about 2% of gamers get to enjoy those awesome, consistent wins. If everyone won all the time, the game would lose its challenge and excitement, making it pretty boring. That small group of top players keeps things interesting and pushes others to get better. Not wanting to keep up is just a lame excuse. I've been frustrated myself sometimes too because losing sucks, and not getting great cards from packs also sucks.

The draft format is the same for all. No one can pay their way through, so everyone gets an equal shot. This means you don't have to be a big spender or buy loads of Perfect Points with real cash.

The same goes for rewards. Imagine if everyone got 101 Perfect cards from Standard Packs. I'd probably stop playing right there. What's the point? Might as well just print the cards at home!
