I am 100% with you, Jimmy. (like so many times before)
Me, I am one of those guys you are talking about. If the price stays over 2 USD per pack, then I am going to buy ZERO packs from the next set. Given that I have several 10'000 USD invested already and I have the means to theoretically buy at 4 USD per pack, I won't do it because as you said the 4 USD price tag is "absolutely ridiculous".
Thank you for speaking up. I know for a fact I'm not the only one who feels this way, and the more of us who speak up, the more chance the team comes to realize this is a very real problem and addresses it.
