I'm quite sure the limited cards belong in the VIP category
- f2p player should look at the freebies from the games, if they like it or not, never the VIP stuff
- if u can get VIPish stuff with "exceptional preparation" that's just a bonus the game gives
bit much? - yeah u'll need months for becoming the "exceptionally prepared free player" like in any other p2w game, Illidan says; "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!" for a reason..

p.s. complaining is all right rly, maybe they'll lower/tweak the requirements a bit..
