    Like many PP, I feel this was posted more out of obligation than anything -- however, I don't need a Q&A to feel the devs are part of this community. Actions speak louder than words and I can see it. 

    Hopefully in April they will have time to answer some of our really good February and March questions, but if not, keep showing us you're here through interesting design and thoughtful modifications-- thanks Oktagon.

    Can we get a feature that allows us to choose which set our booster and card rewards come from? Forgive me if it's already mentioned, but I don't feel like sifting through every comment :-/

    Again, a dislike button would be good.

    I don't want a "pick your booster" option. I want rewards tied to the appropriate sets, but for events to be set up so that over 2 months you can end up with a booster from every single set of legacy and more than one from the latest sets.

    What is the difference? If we can pick our own boosters, you could pick one from every single set of legacy and more than one from the latest sets over those 2 months. Conversely, I could pick all boosters from a single set over that 2 month period if I so choose.

    In your solution, you can get what you want but I cannot get what I want. However, in Matthew's solution, we can both get what we want.

    (Also, I'm pretty sure there was some kind of dislike button when the new forums first released and they were promptly removed. The whole purpose of the forum is for discourse, if you just hit a button to say you disagree but don't offer a reason why, it's kind of pointless.)

    Came here to say something, but @ZW2007- beat me to it. Well said, sir. You took the words right out of my mouth.

    Gosh darnit! @Matthew and @ZW2007-

    Well done for having nuanced interpretations of the problems instead of resorting to respective corners. We really need this discourse right now (despite our current mod’s tendency to ban opposing viewpoints!) and I’m proud of you for talking to each other and finding the common ground.

    @ZW2007- If it were just that there shouldn't be a like button either. I often give reasons, it's just sometimes the points have all been laid out and you just want people to "vote" by agreeing or disagreeing with the posts where everyone has already said everything.

    That's just it though - sometimes the point you want to make has already been made by a previous poster, and there's nothing new to be added by rehashing what they've said so simply liking what they've said, or clicking the insightful button when appropriate, +1's it without wasting time/space/(proverbial) breath.

    On the other hand, now that I think about it, a dislike button really does need an explanation, even if it's only a few words, in order to promote some clarity. Perhaps this is the best way... :)
