I guess this is a hot take...

F2P here with a rant inbound and opinions encouraged: I've been so surprised looking over this sub and seeing the amount of people that are... angry? about new content?

This shocks me! I live to play new decks in this game and as a F2P I just have to accept that I won't be able to collect and play every deck that's viable. Nor will I be able to complete the dex and also have duplicates of the meta cards.

But this is where I'm confused: a new, surprise expansion should be universally a GOOD thing - new content evolves the meta (away from the Arceus+dialga everyone complains about) and gives us new cards to collect. I understand if you're a completionist, this means more investment is needed to complete all your personal objectives in the game. But if you're SO completionist that you wish this expansion did exist just... don't participate. Finish collecting triumphant light and then prep your resources for A3. Or if you're SO concerned that the meta will shift away from the cards you've collected, watch the meta upon A2b release and CHOOSE what deck you'll aim to build with WP, PP, etc.

Am I the only one who feels this way? I'm honestly just excited about new packs to open and cards to collect. I feel like the fact that we can't always "catch em all" shouldn't stop us from enjoying new, free content.
