No more spending money on this game until the pass bundle is back. Why would I spend $50 USD on a pack bundle when only the shocklands and maybe a few other cards will see play in standard.

I haven't spent any money on Arena since the Omenpaths debacle-- was considering a bundle for this but the rampant, runaway greed from WOTC can't be accepted. I know they won't address this so they will not get another dollar from me. BE BETTER.

Congratulations on being one of the most greediest companies 🎉👏

This is literally the only thing I ever purchase regularly. And I'm pretty sure it's the same deal for others. And the reasoning on the post is utter BS. Reverse this ineptitude.

Any chance of getting an actual comment from WOTC on this?

This was the only affordable pre-order option for me each month. It also gave me incentive to play every day. I'm basically being told that you don't want my money or my time by removing this option. Please restore it immediately, or I'm done giving a single cent to this game.

Yup, skipping the battle pass this time around, which means ducking out to skip the next New York set sooner since I won't have a sunk cost fallacy in the pass to feel bad about leaving behind.

A horrible move. I might just stop playing this game. Like American corporations and life, it just gets worse and worse and worse. The product always gets worse over time for profits. That means people need to stop paying.

I thought it was a bug at first. And then I realized yeah these people are just awful.

I already have 10K gems from my last 100 purchase. But that is going to stay there for a long while it seems like. No more money for this hungry hoe.

Chris *****-ucker needs to leave WOTC alone and stop making MARO get calloused knees from servicing him.

i think im done buying things on arena if this is how penny pinching its gonna be

I am seeing some people saying the changes are fine and that you can just earn it for free. The issue is that with that mentality you will just watch as they continually implement more changes that just gradually change the landscape until it slowly resembles a mobile game where you pay absurd prices for anything and you'll justify it with "you can get it for free by playing the game". You are missing the critical point that is they saw what we enjoyed and the fact that we would get it continuously because it was a great value option and it had a very good rate of return. They saw this and went oh we can make money off of this, this is something that will hurt us in the long term if we allow the company this kind of thought process. We need to tell them with our voices and our wallets that we don't support them tearing away options that allow people to spend 15 dollars and then farm a good value and keeps them engaged with the game and more likely to spend more money for a short term monetary increase. AND they doubled the price of the play bundle, the "Through the Omen Paths" play bundle was 25 dollars and they doubled it to 50 saying essentially "if you wanna get easy access better cough up that money". If I'm spending 50 dollars I want it to reflect the value of that 50 dollars not reflect what the value of what THEY think the 50 dollars is worth cause they're blatantly telling us we're only money bags if we support this line of behavior. It is a dangerous thing to allow it long term as it will show them they can just continuously continue to increase prices and allow enshittification to slowly creep its way into the company from the investors to the CEO cause the investors saw the success of the Final fantasy set and went "why can't we do this all the time why not only up" when they want a short term return on their money and we want long term success. This will cause a direct conflict between the two parties and the CEO will fold to the investors otherwise they will be ousted so we need to directly say "we want this to stay and not allow price increases" or they will do it continuously and run away with it and by the time we feel moved to do anything by that point it will be too entrenched in the company values to remove.

You can easily get the pass for free by doing drafts with your gold to farm gems. I see no reason to support this vote. the changes are fine by me

I will not be purchasing anything else on arena until these changes are reverted. I used to always buy play bundles as I almost exclusively play limited. $50 at a time is just far too high a price for me to pay 7 times a year.

They are greedy and corrupt - and do not give a rats **** about anything than money money money - they banned my account from playing because I sent them a direct email telling them in no uncertain terms that they all deserve **** cancer and to have a long bloody painful death. Might have gone a bit overboard but they don't read anything on this forum so nothing will be done ever - 3rd party forum

The only reason I got the past two passes was because of the Pass Bundle!

This on top of cube being a full price phantom draft is too much. I would spend much more money overall if the things I wanted were better value. Hard to justify playing at these prices.....

Wild bc its literally digital content too, they have no production costs in terms of cardboard and manufacturing, the cards are all made for physical anyway the whole cost is digital translation, this is just extra profit and we need to get skimmed from here too

I was on the fence about continuing, too many sets. Now that the Pass Bundle has been removed, decision is made easier to step away from the game. It was fun while it lasted.

This move made me step away from MTGA all together. Paper and MTGO will be the only way I play now.

Yet another example of WotC not caring about its playerbase, and just chasing money over everything else, absolutely ridiculous!!!
