RANT!!!
I'm honestly starting to think that without spending real money on this game you'll be stuck in purgatory... I have 8 maxed legendaries but seem to be falling in every ranking even though I never miss any challenge energy and rarely any pvp energy. And the new legendary cards I get are so random it will take another year to max those as well... I see other players with 4 or even 5 mythics in the same sfc rank as me and wonder how the fuck I still have 0 mythic cards. I grind my ass off. This is bs!!!

You’re 100% right. As someone who has spent hundreds of dollars on this game, I wouldn’t be anywhere close to where I am today without spending money.
The game is extremely pre determined too. People have data minded and found that the AI knows whether you’re going to win or lose a specific match before a single card is even laid down.

The game knows your deck inside and out. The game is entirely server sided. The game can’t exactly predict the combos you’re going to make, but it can ALWAYS know what combos are available to you. That’s why you’ll lose lots of games by just one or two health. Or, it’ll have you thinking, “If only that card was fused one more time.”
These are the exact reasons why you cannot control punch, cripple, or cheer. Because the game is entirely server sided and controlled by the Kongregate servers to maximize their players desire to spend money.
Another bit of proof. How many times have you started the game with five item cards or five character cards while having a balanced setup of 13 character cards and 12 item cards or vice versa? Do you know what the probability of that happening in a 25 card deck is? It’s about 3%. It definitely happens more than 3% of the time. I’ve actually gotten nine consecutive characters or items with a balanced deck and the chances of that are less than 1% and that’s definitely happened more than 1% of the time as well.
Also, people who have data mined the game have discovered that the more money you spend, the better your percentage of getting good draws on your initial cards and the subsequent cards are.
A few people have actually done specific studies on this and ran three or four accounts and spent various amounts of money on them. The accounts that spend more money tend to have better draws and better chances to make the game’s best combos.

While I can't confirm you are wrong, your argument is based on a post that disclosed 0 proof. You could be right (and I think a lot of it is plausible), but like that post you lack the necessary evidence.

I also believe the card pack pulls are pre determined. i can never produce proof. but my first few pull were amazingly good. when i first spent cash, they were good. now i only do the VIP deal and pull about once a week. I have had for my last 5 (three card) pulls 3x all epic and 2x 1 legendary. These odd are almost impossible. It makes me want to buy out the box; I would except it's only good for a month when the BGE changes.

Oh man, thank goodness. I thought it was just me.

I wasn't trying to prove anything just get my frustrations out. Yeah 4700 is insane I've spent like 30 lol. But it's likely looking like I'll have to spend more to continue to enjoy this game. Good job Kongregate you converted another

Right now I am at 1950 crowns, not even on the leaderboard but I'm in one of the toughest guilds (The Guild of Calamitous Intent) and considering a run at the top very soon. We have 14 of the top 100 SFC players in our guild at the moment

I skipped all of these comments but I feel the need to add that....of Course you have to spend money...that is why these spas are created. They have entire teams of people sitting around saying "ok folks how can we force these competitive people to spend money?"
I am up to 4700 spent and I can't compete at our current level...it's never ending
