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!

Like the economy, they are squeezing out the middle class.
And I
don't think the game rewards patience and effort (unless the effort in question is the effort of typing in your credit card number). Until the last week, I have been a user who made sure to get almost all (90%+ of those available) Twitch packs and played tourneys. I am still stuck with packs that are 90%+ duplicates and incomplete missions that I have no hope of completing. Which, in turn, means that not only do I not get to be part of the 2%, but I get shunted down to languish in the purgatory of Silver for the rest of the season.
I won't buy OOTP26, because the only thing I enjoy about OOTP25 at this point is rewriting history with a random debut save in the main game. And I don't need to buy the new version each year to enjoy that. The only reason I have bought the game the last three years was because I enjoyed PT - even though I never made it to Perfect League and spent less than ten total seasons in Diamond.
Clearly, the devs don't care about my $40. It is what it is, at this point. I am glad you and the others who are defending the devs are enjoying PT. May you continue to do so.
