The vicious cycle:
1. Player complaining about gems that hard to find
2. Konami add event that give player gem just by participating
3. Player complaining because other player plays certain deck, and skip the event
4. Back to #1
It's just lack of creativity at this point. Devs are straight up trash that refuses to listen to the community. It's like they deliberately want to k ill this game and make a new one.
Konami doesn't need to ki ll one game to make another, take duel generations as example: DG and duel links were the same game but different in concept and mechanic each one catered to its own audience there was no problem with them coexisting but konami said fu ck it and cuc ked DG despite making good profit
Don't be surprised if tomorrow we get the beta of the "new DL" and DL gets a close notice
Dear Customer,
Please buy our brand new pendulum cards. If accommodating the whole game for pendulum cards is what is takes to get you to spend your money then we will do so.
Dude hours after your comment rumours about the next Duel Links started to pop out in forums now some minutes ago konami scheduled a conference called Digital NEXT lol
