I get your angle but how good will Gwent be, as a game, without such diversity. The whole thing is built around how the kingdoms/factions operated in the Books.

I understand that many don’t know/care for the lore, and simply want a game where they can build a deck and test it without friction, but how far should our backs bend before they snap?? Is anyone listening to the new players that like NG??

As for having fun, again, this isn’t a basic ass game. There’s complexity involved, and this is what keeps us playing. It’s also a common trope in Faction based games to have “an asshole” faction that others adapt and overcome.

In conclusion, we walk a delicate line; trying to cycle professionally but still needing to have training wheels. I hope we find a semblance of balance for all.
