Valid points, Midi.

Yes, people need to obtain cards to keep interest in the game. A lot of people never got a single booster, and when they did, most of us *cough squirt + night + donark + a few others *cough* got some pretty lame cards for our efforts. We're planning to fix this issue in the near future, though obviously it all depends on when DC gets un-busy.

The "sitting out for a certain time when you lose" aspect stems from the need to have a laming-barrier. If there was no such block, person A could just keep beating person B over and over and over, which is really against the point (not to mention lame...which might be why they call it laming.) Does it completely prevent laming? No, as we have clearly seen. But it does prevent laming wins off the same person over and over. Does it have its drawbacks? Of course. But the benefits outweigh the costs in the eyes of the developer.

The last thing I want is for people with all lvl 0 cards to play people with a half dozen (or more) higher level cards. We're working on a rating system that will prevent this to make sure matches are evener. Thus people will have a pretty decent chance of winning any game, unlike how it currently is now. I'm in the same boat as many of you are; I only have one non-lvl 0 card, so I feel your pain. These lucky sobs aren't very fun to play against when your deck just flat out bites. Hopefully we can correct this.

So, a common theme: we're going to (hopefully) fix it (soon). The other last thing I want is to see this card game die so quickly, especially knowing how much hard work people put into it (not to mention how I love card games in general.)
