Tell me, how is that ranked multiplayer I just reached rank 12 and it's almost impossible to win a game for me. Everyone uses rare plant.

Just by quests alone it will take months for me to get rare packs. I'm not going to play such game. At rank 12, you get 2 stars for a win and only drop a single star when you lose. If you win two games or more in a row, you get an additional star for every win. This means that even players with a 50% win rate will rank up rather quickly.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but if you are stuck at rank 12 then you are simply a player of below average skill. That's not an insult, it's a mathematical fact. It has very little to do with how large your collection is. There are many very strong common cards, and there are very weak rare and super-rare cards.

Also, you get plenty of gems from quests if you can play a few times each day. One new quest every 3 hours means 80 gems every day. So you can buy 4 packs every 5 days, or you can get a multipack of 11 packs after 12.5 days of quests. If you rank up now and then, you get even more gems. Quite a lot in fact.

Finally, losing stars is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for a ranking system to work. The current ranking system is perfectly fine. Skilled players rank up quickly to the gold league where they no longer get bonus stars for win streaks, and less skilled players have a hard time getting there. As they should. I don't think losing stars are supposed to be inside the game. How about they should remove it in lower leagues like Silver league and gold league and the player will never have to worry about losing a star. If they reached diamond league, they can lose star. That would balance the ranked multiplayer or players will felt upset about this. Losing those things are in EVERY type of ranked multiplayer. I mean, it's saying that like you can't deal with this level, so you're going down to a level you can handle so you can gain stars again. It's part of all ranked multiplayer. If you don't like it, don't play then. Losing is not balancing method. If it's in Gold league but it is, no win streaks, would be impossible to get ranked up. The winning rate will take week or month or years to get ranked up in gold league because once you lose. Popcap's game pissed you off.
