That's a huge slap in the face, but I guess that's how the business works.
I'm not sure who gets hit worse - the whales who spend all their money to get everything, or the people who can't, breaking tooth and nail to accomplish anything and spend quadruple the amount of time or more to get things.

I'd say keep the game going, even with nothing it's nice to be able to see and appreciate the card collection we've all amassed. Really that's what its about for me, it took me so long to be able to do an event from when I played at the game's release, and with a huge break between leaving and coming back to actually getting somewhere in them I've missed pretty much missed the majority of the story.
But hey, I just want to collect cards.
