After a long time I finally went back to playing Gwent, I liked what I saw and started to play it again, I even bought the Journey's premium package, now I feel like I have thrown that money away.
Not everyone have so many hours to play, i need to work, i need to study, i need to do other things too, in Gwent i could play a few matches a day and still get points to progress in the game, get new cards and create new decks, a little slow but possible, now with this new "reward" system this is almost impossible, much more time is needed to get resources just to reach those players who already have all the cards, and not everyone has decks or even the cards needed to complete these stupid quests , there is no place even to play with the factions I want, just the factions the game wants me to play because of the quests.
I convinced three friends to play Gwent in the last few months, they all have abandoned the game already because they are no longer able to progress enough to match the veteran players.
When the game launched on Steam I defended it from many reviews that accused it of being pay to win, and now the game is becoming exactly what I said it wasn't , new players will not stay in the game, intermediaries will abandon it again, only old players will remain, and this is how a multiplayer game dies.
