Hello everyone,
Okay, time to give away a card so I will do that first. It was from this post
The winner is.
Congrats to @cpol I hope it helps you a little.
Each week I ask you guys a question and you have to answer to win the card. I always read them all but don't always reply. You have to answer the question or you won't be in the draw. I don't care what you say but it has to be an answer that makes sense. Trying to avoid bots.
What do you think of the new pack price of $4
The giveaway is only on hive.
I was a little bummed due to play to buy 2000 of them now I can only buy 1000 of that money that I got for selling some cards. Still, that seems like a nice set of rewards. But the more I think of it I like it. The new rewards cards showed us that sometimes they will make cards that are like the old ones. To protect the old set value I think we need a higher price pack. Sorry might not seem fair for new players but should help the value of your cards also.
What card can you win this week?
The Venari WaveSmith seem to be the most popular of the rare cards so you can maybe win one for free
I was disappointed by the $4 price, but only because they had previously kept repeating that they wanted to keep it close to the previous $2 price. It's not a huge deal to me though. I was only going to be able to buy a small number of packs anyway, so now that has just been reduced slightly. The majority of my cards were always going to be bought/rented from the market.
4$ + voucher isn't near 2$ but I initially thought they would go 20 times as much packs. At least new player can get reward cards much cheaper this time.
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
The new price makes sense in order to combat inflation.
Thanks for the giveaway! @mcgilli

I think the price increase was necessary for the game economics.
The change of the price looks like a measurement to balance the economy, so is ok to me @amaillo-m
As someone who likes money, I dislike it greatly and feel they should just give me 1000 packs, a title and a handful of airdrops. As an acknowledged amateur, armchair economist I must confess that it is what it is and someone hopefully much more knowledgeable than me has come to the conclusion that it is necessary and appropriate. @magooz
I'm less concerned about the double in price as I am the reduced value for said price. Collection Power on the cards is 1/2 normal foil and 1/4 for gold. Combined with the doubling of price, the cards work out to 1/8 the value compared to Untamed packs. Even more worrying than that though is this voucher system that they intend to keep in place even after the pre-sale finishes. This voucher system effectively all but locks out anyone who isn't a maverick and/or a whale. Ultimately, this does more harm than good and is completely discriminatory against newer players who don't have the ability to easily enough acquire SPS to stake anywhere near as cheap as the mavericks did by virtue of being in the right place at the right time.
Agree. I think it will demotivate new players
I get why they increased the prices per pack, but as a new player Im still somewhat disappointed that I won't be able to buy more packs because of this
Oh gosh, I haven't won this card in any of my chests thus far T.T
I don't mind the $4 price tag, or even 1/2 the burn value, my real concern is with vouchers continuing beyond the pre-sale, which kind of holds new players hostage, and creates this sort of unusual middle-man system where "Okay but WE'RE only charging $4" but also if the vouchers make packs suddenly $10, $12, $20, then shrugs
It's kind of like how Wax Sales get bought out by bots and resold at exorbitant prices and they're like "Oh no, we tried. Look at our numbers though cuz of this"
I don't mind the price at all. It will raise the value of the cards a bit.
Price is okay but I think reducing the collection power is enough. @joshnaire
One pack for $4 is cheap if the price of one DEC or SPS becomes $5. 😋 We just have to enter DEC/SPS into various exchanges markets such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, etc before the packed sale starts.
I can't believe it!!! I won!!! Thank you so much!!! And a Venari Crystalsmith!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't around here before (been playing for less than 2 weeks) so the $4 per pack isn't strange to me.
Thank you for the giveaway
When they said they are thinking of raising the prices I was hoping the max would be $3 so yeah $4 is a bit of a letdown.
$4 = R$20.80 my wallet will cry.
i dont mind the price coz i dont have any $ to buy it HAHAHA
@galikgaming
I think the new price is fair, although may make it harder for new players. Thanks for doing the giveaway! ign: @blueleader03
Love this card! :)

I think the price adjustment makes sense. Not so sure about the voucher system though, don't really like how vouchers are required to buy packs even at public sale.
Frankly even I'm disappointed by the $4 price myself. But it's just my personal opinion. I did not study the economic of the game to really understand if it's good or bad. Hopefully they did.
A little disappointed, but I guess with the game being so popular it's a good time to increase prices a bit from the official store end. It should also make the cards more valuable, in theory, where they would otherwise be worth less due to the decrease in power compared to previous sets. The voucher system is also interesting. I've got enough SPS staked that I'll actually be getting some (in theory), unlike a LOT of players, but not sure how many packs I'll actually be able to afford without selling SPS, or using the DEC that's getting me the SPS.

I think the price little high, but maybe increase is necessary for the game economics.
Thanks for the giveaway! @liquid-miracle
I'm not necessarily happy about the increase, but I suppose it was inevitable. Slightly more concerned about the "vouchers" system.
Its a bit too much compared to collection power..
I was hoping to see $2 packs again, but I understand why they increased it. It sure is daunting for those with limited resources though. @sublimjester
the price is pretty decent but for me as a new/casual player who dont have alot spsn stake the voucher is my problem.
On one side I find it expensive, but on another side, I think it will help to keep the game value
I think 4$ is well thought out price to support the cost needed to improve server quality since we are experiencing an unprecedented player base increment. But this means we have to fork out more money to buy packs. Sadness ensues.
I'm more annoyed by the voucher system, which will create a secondary market and additional prize for a pack :(
Anyway I would love to own a Venari WaveSmith. I believe it would bring me out of Bronze league, hope I will win it ;)
@arkasz
i think the price is fine the vouchers are the ones that wont let new players get a lot of packs.
ign: @helicopter-d
I don't have any complaints about the new price. I trust the Devs and I think they're making the right decision.
@dne320
The $4 price is hard for me to buy much :(
I like that the packs are $4. It reduces the overall supply which is better in the long run! @Project10back
The increase in price makes sense to stabilize the game economy. What would be troubling is the decrease in card collection v and the new voucher system since it acts like an entry barrier for new players and give a lot of benefit to whales and krakens. They said that those who staked their sps for a long time will benefit from this but if you are a whale you can stake those sps during the time that they will give out vouchers and still earn the most voucher than someome who staked sps since day 1 of sps launch. Incentivizing old players/whales too much will demotivate new players from entering the game which will cause a huge problem in the future.
It's unfortunate for new players who don't want to spend a lot,
however it's probably still a good value deal and may have been necessary due to the game's growth and new players and bots influx.
@summoner-cha
I actually agree with the increase in price for the Chaos Legion packs. What bothers me is the voucher system. This heavily favours the whales and early adopters, effectively keeping the power balance even more one-sided than it already is.

Looking forward to getting some packs, should be fun opening them. Increasing the cost at least allows for a little value to be kept in them. Will have to see what happens from here.
Cheers
I'm ok with price. I imagine the card will go on the market much cheaper. I was more dissapointed with the amount of sps needed to accumulate tickets.
4$ per pack sounds fair given the huge growth we had
I´m new to the game and dont´t know about the price before. 4$ sounds fair to me when I look to the prices of other games.

Just need some new packs. Price seems ok, would have been nice if they were cheaper.
