    Uh oh.. Impending debate on what "a couple of months means" 
    As much time as it takes, I would assume. While I want crafting as much as the next person, I also want it to work correctly from the start. How is the game going to come back from everyone cashing in their hoarded dupes just to get an error and nothing else to show for it? If they screw it up, it's basically game over.

    Now that we're being advised to continue holding onto our duplicates, can we get rid of the difficult-to-avoid convert button at the top of the cards inventory? Or at the vary least, add a, "confirm you want to screw yourself over" second layer of protection for when your finger slips?

    I have avoided that part of the application ever since they announced booster crafting for this very reason.  If I want to look at my collection, I just go edit a PW deck of the appropriate colours.

    Or allow us to partially convert, like a card by card option.

    Booster crafting is the single most important development since the game's inception. My recommendation is to not spring it onto the community but rather begin a conversation. Gamers are used to spending money on their hobby but we expect a tangible unit of value in exchange for our money. This game currently has too much of a gambling quality with its inevitable feelings of remorse when the money is gone and there is nothing to show.

    Hi Everyone. As of the 2.2 update, there is now a confirmation button when you press the Convert Duplicates button.

    Oh, thank goodness. I can stop freaking out looking at my card list for fear of tapping that nefarious button.

    Sarcasm on:
    Confirmation as in "you're going to convert cards to runes" or as in "you've just converted cards"?
    Sarcasm off

    I try to suppress it when I'm on the forum, but sometimes it just slips out :p 
    There could be a copyright issue here.

    I would feel more comfortable if they called it card crafting. I want to use duplicate cards (and cards only, not shards and crystals) to craft cards i am missing. I do not want to craft boosters that give me more dupes. The language is making me unsettled.

    @Gormhaus - they've already introduced 1 card booster so.... it's going to be technically "booster crafting". One card booster....

    Your concern is shared.  In fact, the track record of "strategic language" used in past update announcements would suggest that your concern is also well founded.

    Why not use these "expert/master"-decks in favour of the players for once and let us, at least, target and craft missing cards of those decks specifically. Not going to happen ... I know, just thinking out loud here

    That was what I was hoping to do, if only because I don't like leaving things incomplete, but until I see how the crafting system works I am not going to let myself build it up. As far as I am concerned there will never be a crafting system, and cards don't convert to runes. That way, I won't be too disappointed it didn't come out as I have hoped, and I won't give in and just convert, though my PWs could certainly use the levels.

    With so many people saying "I'm gonna quit if booster crafting sucks!" I don't think they are in any hurry to implement it.

    So start saying I am going to quit if booster crafting isn't implemented?
