Precisely. Konami didn´t create this game just out of the goodness of their hearts. They want you to cough up the dough, and what better way to do it than make you feel miserable after losing duel after duel against meta decks?
That's exactly how this game should always be. This is the reason I switched from my previous games. At least here I'm rewarded for purchasing contents, contrary to lazy people who don't even make that effort.
