Vip membership and a complete collection of cards

I own a complete Set of cards so any Single non duplicate booster results in commons and uncommons as of the ratio of the boosters. If the booster is bound to one rarety it's only that one of course.
Even if your collection is missing cards from selected Sets those boosters drop in value. 

I understand that there are not so many players out there that have a complete collection but  a lot that have a bigger one and Do not fully benefit from what the vip System is giving to US. In other words the more vetran a Player is the less interesting is the vip system until a new set arrives. On the other hand benefits a new Player most of the vip system. This is unbalanced but difficult to handle. 

I like the idea supporting this game and I want to craft masterpieces in the future.

Besides the current issues like being pro but Paid Master what has to be fixed as fast as possible, are the any plans to keep the vip System more valueable for Veteran players like me? 

I do not need boosters from Sets I have every card. Especially when they Contain mostly commons and uncommons. How about providing crystals or a token instead that allows me to buy boosters from the next Set when it arrives?

    I dont have a full set but I do have every non MP. I think the non dupes should convert to 3000 orbs rather than 500 since 3000 is what I would consider the "real" value of a non dupe mythic. I emailed support about this and I basically got told to look forward to my 500 orbs. They arent making VIP very exciting for people with large collections.

    what about bringing back across ixalan and rising tensions for VIP? (and other events like it)

    it adds content -and- rewards

    @naabaldan - congratulations with a full set! Isn’t this a temporary problem until the next set arrives? Just don’t open the boosters for a few weeks.

    I wonder if this would work

    It should at least for standard boosters, i guess VIP boosters will also adapt to the new set

    Boosters given out give cards from the set they have been released for.

    We;ve had that a lng time ago when people would hoard boosters in hopes to get cards from a different rotation etc.

    I rember. So it will not work. Gold or a new currency would be a possibility like batches or tokens we can Exchange for New boosters

    Fair enough, I just thought that since these boosters (standard and VIP) does not seem to be directly tied to a set that they might behave differently than set-specific boosters.

    You are most likely right, but I’ll keep my boosters until the exclusive cards reverts from exclusivity.

    Not sure if the "Standard boosters" will always give out the same set, or if it changes when a new set rolls around? So perhaps one can save them up?

     I hope boosters from VIP membership will actually adapt to the next set because if they don't, its pointless to suscribe if you already have a full collection.
    I personally have several VIP and standard boosters awaiting because i already own all the cards.

    However, elite packs are probably linked to the rotation displayed when they were bought.

    I hope they update the boosters. I have 2 of the current set boosters waiting since I currently have all the cards.

    At the very least, when the VIP opens any booster pack it should just review ALL card sets and go back one set if all the current set are owned and even then the results, in the case of the OP, should still be all mythical results, not common or uncommon.

    For me, now that I have all Allegiance cards, the next set of VIP boosters will be basically less-than-special as all I'll get is the same results as a 80 (*70 with VIP discount) pack would get me... Not thrilling...

    Before VIP systems released, crafting MP is awesome (but i prefer spend 400j ratherthan 15k orb for any single MP.

    After VIP systems ongoing....I am not sure anyone still waiting to craft those MP?

    I am able to craft about 140 masterpieces for 15000 orbs each, but can only buy 39 elite packs for 400 pinkies each. Ok after the current hod Event it will be 40 ...
    But this does not matter at all while there is no New set available. Until than numbers are growing ...

    I hazard that you are in the minority of the player base. Most players do not sit on such a hoard.

    With such a pile of ressources, we are far beyond the whale ... The real question is ... What's the point of hoarding ressources if you don't spend them and keep investing real money instead ... ^^"
