Regarding the forced auto-milling and reduced rewards- I don't think it's the right way to go about things. I've played Hearthstone for 7.5 years and stopped recently when I saw that Gwent wasn't such a moneyhog (well CDPR actually). For those 7.5 years I have not invested any money whatsoever in Heartstone just because of how greedy Blizzard is, because I do not want to support such a policy. I started playing Gwent a couple months ago and felt good about giving my money for this game because I thought I am supporting this different kind of policy (especially when it comes to TCGs) that CDPR stands for. A week and a half in Gwent, I'd already bought 3 starter packs and planned to buy some cosmetics also but now I am reconsidering whether to support these new tendencies.
My nightmare is that Gwent becomes like Blizzard's Heartstone - a greedfest where the 70% winrate class is rotated every expansion, you cannot have a decent collection with casual play because they dump 200 cards every 3 months making the other 2000 worthless and obsolete, extremely polarised matchups where people just forfeit before first turn just because the outcome of the matchup is 100% guaranteed, and so on... Please don't turn Gwent into Heartstone. Make (and keep) the content more accessible and people would gladly spend more!
And about meteorite powder, the EA ' SENSE OF PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT ' spiel, really? It was hard enough to get as it was. Now it just makes me want to go around the powder reward nodes in reward trees. Hopefully this gets addressed. Good luck and see you on the ladder.
