The game was so much better back when we had insignes.
The current system is awful because everything now relies on random chance (you know what I mean).

The insignes were fair!
If you were motivated, you could grind hard to earn as many rewards as possible.
Pay-to-win players could spend money to speed up their progress during the season — but not to gamble and risk getting useless duplicates.

Now, players are frustrated with this new system.
The number of people quitting the game after failing to complete their sticker collections just keeps increasing.

If you brought back the old system, both veteran and new players would be happy.
That system was fair, balanced, and not rigged.

It was possible to get 100 orbs from a Hvip with the insignia chests. It allowed F2P to trade for other dragons or gather and summon a Hvip. Today we fight for cards that don't even give us Hvip orbs

Insignia:
P2W: 100% guarantee the reward of 1000+ H vip orbs, High chance for VIP dragons / its orbs.
F2P: At least 100 Hvip orb guaranteed. However, there is no chance to complete collection
Stickers:
P2W: "High" chance to complete collection. The reward is a bit better ( 1200 Orb of a M vip, L vip and its skin + Dragon and advance perks + other good rewards ).
F2P: At least 1 L vip + 320 orb guaranteed. But also have chance to complete collection ( around 30% ).
In summary, Insignia gurantee rewards. However it is impossible for f2p and the reward for them is.... totally mid.
Sticker is more risky. However, it only give p2w a "High" chance of completing the collection. But F2p still have some chance.
For me, i love both

For insignia collections, you had to make preparations for the event,
such as summoning the HVIP beforehand, empowering its family's dragons for quests,...
Basically, you had to invest your resources in it.
Both P2Ws and F2Ps could finish insignia collections with preparation and investment.
However, resources are finite, so most F2Ps cannot prepare for and complete every single collection.
The good thing about insignia collections, like you have said, is that you could at least get 100 HVIP orbs even if you didn't complete it, which could be used for trading and prepare for a future collection.

Sticker collections are more relaxing.
You don't really have to spend any resources, but everything comes down to your luck. Sure, you have to do races and quests if you want to maximize your odds of completion, but those do not guarantee anything regardless.
So, sticker albums are so luck dependant that nothing is really guaranteed, but as a F2P, you may complete consecutive albums without having to spend any Jokers, if you're lucky enough.
The collective rewards for sticker albums are also better than that of insignia collections.
However, if you cannot complete it, you barely get new VIP orbs for trading or improving your VIP dragons roster. Yes, they do give you VIP orbs in the last two sets, but usually you cannot complete the album due to the rigged stickers in those sets, so those VIP orbs are not guaranteed as well.

In my opinion, insignia collections were more of a slow grind, where you build up your resources to invest them in a great collection, while receiving solid VIP orbs for the ones you cannot complete.
Sticker albums are more hit-or-miss. You either win big without really having to invest anything, or get nothing at all.

Nevertheless, I believe sticker albums have the potential to be even better than insignia collections, if they can address its major problems that are the rigged stickers and the lack of a solid pity/guarantee system.

It’s really hard tbh, the orb demand is crazy since many ppl want them but not really anyone does have them

#

finding someone having them is already a problem, Get them to trade with your offer is even a bigger problem

#

overall, just think again. 60% of f2p was able to complete HCS, 30% of f2p was able to complete HCA
While only <= 1% of f2p completed the insignia

#

that is why i say f2p have no chance to complete insignia or either they have to spend everything they have to complete it.

It's horrible for f2p tho as someone who got all strats before release even tradeing for them (only ash for us to get them before event) that was a pain alone. Than you have to empower all to e5 you better hope you have enough jorbs or trade in the horrendous trade market again to hopefully get the event done not e4 e5
Than you have to grind events as well. Ingisnas were so much worse for f2p.
Mind you I got all strats and didn't find purud of even got him

#

Also not only that I tried to prepare for all of them after hqw
Never completed a single one

and then e4 purus which was easily done with jorbs once you trade for it
OR if you couldnt trade for purus then 4 e4 mythics
