I was wondering if we could get the ability to trade cards I have a couple friends who play this and we have cards the other wants / needs. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to be able to trade extra cards to friends.

I always thought a way around it would be to put a gem cost on it. So both players need to pay 50 gems or something; that way you can’t spam it and it’s a way for the company to make money too

If someone’s willing to pay money behind the scenes to trade cards, wouldn’t they be willing to pay a few bucks extra to cover a trivial gem cost?
I guess really the main problem is with a few months’ play you’re likely to have all the cards you need. It only takes 2 or 3 specific mythics to get into a good PvP rhythm and you can wait Soulforge out for it. So IMO the real reason not to waste effort on card trading is it’s a feature nobody will use at all for 90% of their GoW careers (the part that comes after 4-5 mythics.)
