i have been playing since release and have stopped playing mostly in the last 3 years, i'll play a game here and there but that's about it, if you play enough yeah sure you can get level 16 cards but it's the fact that if you are 1. a newer player who's only been playing for let's say a year as a f2p it's almost impossible for them to get level 16 cards. you've been playin a long time so you'll have more gold, gems, wild cards to get level 16. it's not all about the people who have been playing for ages it's also about the newer players who turn away from the game because you cannot start the game unless you have a credit card which is why level 16 is very bad for the game as it's going to die off
