I’ve also said this!
I think we are a smidge off kilter though.
On Day 1
I suppose the imbalance was between 3 to 4*
Then 4 to 5*
And it was off to the races!
Who will have that pure 5* D, first?
Quickly the dust settled.
Wasn’t the first Meta a Magni tank?
Saturation developed. Not really because imbalance. But less variety.
Then first event, Pirates!
And it was off to the races!
And more events, then season 2, and more events, then season 3 and more events…
Next S4…and…
It’s been… off to the races
The entire time! True Story
Today
The balance issues, now…are not between 4* and 5*
Noor have they ever been.
We’ve been racing for so long. That last year, Costumes became necessary…
Comparing Quintus to say…Killhare
Is gross! 
the conversation really should be/ between 5 and 6* at this point.
And then costumes are not balance. They are new cards! And more pulls!
It’s really not so difficult to look at all of that and think about tomorrow. And next year. And the year after… which is important due to the amount of grind and time required!
Years…
So what’s really changed? The optics.
That’s all.
And while I respect these guys opinions:
They can be straightforward about weaker releases. But how often does that happen? Which, through no fault of their own… they tend to help generate excitement in support of, the races and not balance.
#nospend is a decision that YOU should contemplate on YOUR day 1 !
Contemplating it later… will cause heartburn. Awful indigestion!
Because you feel invested!
And your watching the money you spent get nerfed… whether over time or swiftly.
It’s not likely that you will put that fire out here. But I suppose it does feel good to vent. And possible help enlighten a newcomer about spending money on their
Dream Team…
Or not 
There will still be someone that loves
3-connecting so much they will donate a fortune.
As far as changing policy? I believe they are here! Among us 
But business… @Cheds is right. This is a very old business model. It exists for a reason. And likely won’t change without obliterating the loot box.
Which… won’t happen
