I recently started buying the pass bundle and this might price me out of buying the pass going forward. Draft isn't for me, but the extra packs and cosmetics for playing felt appropriately priced for my life situation.

I'm fed up with Hasbro and WOTC, I'm fed up with 50 sets per year, I'm tired of extreme monetization, of how bad the current collections feel, with stupid and soulless mechanics—nothing like the Magic of 10-15-20 years ago. I'm exhausted by special guests destroying the Arena economy. I'm frustrated that whenever there's something somewhat good, nice and cheap, they decide to eliminate it and monetize even more. I'm tired of how dull the Midweek rewards are. I'm fed up with the lack of Modern in Arena and having to put up with the trash that is Historic with Alchemy. I'm annoyed by the woke image of the company. I'm fed up!

not getting any bundles any more as the new pricing is really greedy

I don't always get the play bundle but I've never missed a pass bundle.
come on, people, this isn't cool.

Really not a smart idea removing the bundle. Many people, myself inckuded, bought it despite having a lot of gems. If you prefer people using currency gained for free instead of giving you money, well that's on you.

The pass bundle was an easy way to stay invested in the new sets... 15€ per set, and then being incentivized to play to earn rewards was an excellent way to stay up to date on what was happening with the game.

Now all the bundles are over 50€, and the incentive just isn't there for me. I understand this seems like a trivial thing, but this change won't force me to spend the extra 5-6€ to get gems and buy the pass all the same - it will make me spend 15€ less and simply not buy it

This is a major shot in your own foot, and clearly the community dislikes it. Please consider reverting it

The only thing I ever pre-ordered regularly was the Pass Bundle. It's a shame it was removed! As someone who doesn't play draft, that is the only way to get gems without just buying them.

The pass bundle is the primary way that I spend money on Arena, and I buy it almost every set. No pass bundle? No more money from me. Simple as.

This is my first experience with this game/non paper MTG. My friend informed me about the bundle and I was going to purchase it. However I don't think I want to start spending money on a game that is greedy like this.

I play paper magic too and was very excited for Lowyrn but this is putting me off

I used to play free in the past. I'm returning on that without this pass.
You are to greedy, respect your players, you are nothing without them.

Very upset with this change. Def gonna see me spend less $ than I used to.

I'm a relatively new player, started with the final fantasy set. Happily bought pass bundles before, bought paper cards along while playing on Magic Arena and spending on gems.

But with thoses changes, I will step back heavily on Magic Arena. 7 sets a year and 50€ preorder for each ?? Yeah, no thanks, that's just insane commitment.

The fact that as a new player, discovering magic 6 months ago and committing a good chunk of my hobby time on it, I already feel completely drained by the sheer number of sets, and the heavy prices of the preorder, should trigger alarms.

It's a digital product you herbs, stop trying to apply shrinkflation to every aspect of reality

The funny thing about losing this is, before the pass bundle was removed, I was planning on suggesting it for a few friends who have recently picked up the game. Unfortunately, the best value option players on a budget had is now gone, and with it go the profits you could have made.

Im in a relatively poor situation with my finances, and the one thing i can convince myself was the 15$ bundle cause "Hey i do think im gonna earn myself good value going forward after getting this and i have a reason to do missions" Now without it, it feels like a slap in the face

I usually buy both the pack bundle and pass bundle on each set + the 100$ gem pack once a year or so.
I don't understand why suddenly it seems you want less money from me?
Is this a scheme of some kind to get me to buy the 100$ gem pack more times so I can get the pass for the same value as before? And so I have the urge to waste the gems in my account as months go by? Really underhanded strategy.

The pass is the primary thing I buy if anything on Arena. Losing it will lose my business further.

It really did not feel bad to buy the pass in advance. It was the only way in spent money on the game. I will not buy anything anymore now.

Bring it Back
