Paywalls! – Topps® WWE SLAM: Card Trader Review

This game used to be... again used to be... fun. I really enjoyed being able to collect cards of my favorite WWE Superstars, however about 4-5 months ago (possibly longer) they added diamonds to their currency (pay real money to obtain), at first it was not that bad because you were still able as a free player to obtain even diamond cards (at a much lower percentage of course, which is understandable). However, now Topps has made it nearly impossible for the free player to obtain any cool insert cards and making the game a paywall only type of game. This really discourages me from wanting to play, even though I actually won a real WWE belt from them. I wish they would be more mindful of those of us who can only afford the free game due to all the other real life expenses we have. *Rant Complete* Update: After reading what the devs stated... I would like to add that although this game is fun, what they stated below does not make sense. Yes, you can go to the trade feed. No, players who paid real money to obtain the cards will not trade them for freebie cards. Therefore, they will only trade for cards that you can obtain with using real money. I understand that it’s supposed to be a trading card game however no one will trade pay cards for freebie cards. The free packs that was stated are base packs. For those of us that have played more than 2 months (going on 2 years), the free packs really don’t help us out. Now in the future they will no doubt because new base cards are coming soon, however right now no help. The prize wheel again great idea and allows free players to obtain a nice card here and there but in order to get the really good cards you need to pay real money to access the premium wheel. I’m not just saying this to make the devs feel like crap. The truth of the matter is I am trying to state for us free players how the paywalls are just not right, it takes the fun out of the game, and that’s why you are losing players. Also on a side note, thanks for responding to this review and thanks for the belt, I really do appreciate it! Hopefully you guys can figure this out to make it more fun again for the free players.
