its a little weird and frustrating that this isnt a thing already. i have to grind for wildcards in nation ranks or pray i pull one from an officer pack. ik they come in bundles sometimes but im talking about buying them separately. you could have them like this:
standard: 100 gold or 14 diamonds
limited: 200 gold or 28 diamonds
special: 400 gold or 56 diamonds
elite: 800 gold or 112 diamonds
i feel this would help ppl build viable decks easier, for both free to play and paying players. buying wild cards would not count towards crate progress.
well then what about packs? people would no longer be enticed to buy them if wildcards were put in the shop. i think there is a solution to this too. make it so you can buy national packs for all nations including the ally only ones, both core and officer versions. that way if you're trying to fill out your brit collection you can just get a brit pack. and make it so you get one guaranteed gold card per pack, that way people have a reason to buy them.
this is not a perfect solution by any means, its more to start a dialogue about the subject.
