Very nice. The whales are voting down to guarantee no other players can ever attain these cards max level by keeping the cost to do so unattainably high for all other players. They'll give other reasons, but the history of actions make the intentions clear. It truly seems like no one with any meaningful say has the best interest of the game nor the playerbase at large in mind.
At least in a few years it won't matter that the whales are the only ones with these cards, once the game is virtually or literally dead due to the decisions of these last 3 years. And much more of the same moving forward clearly.
