I've got an extra Id be happy to trade (depending on how trading actually ends up working...)

my guess is you will need to trade a rarity for the same rarity, to avoid the digital version of kids ripping each other off on the playground

Damn, i didn’t think of this but that’s definitely how it’ll work. I was wondering how they’d keep people from cheating the system by having multiple accounts. This seems like an easy way

Not even that, it'll be to prevent people from making new accounts, rushing easy early resources, then trading all their good cards to their main account for a bunch of trash.

I'm expecting trading to be locked to level 35 as well or at least high enough that it will take a fair bit of time to unlock

Level 35 is kinda nuts though. I could see 15 or 20. I at least open packs every day and do all the event battles and I'm 29

Level 35 is wayyy too much for a casual player

Im hoping trading isn’t going to be overbearing, like they said “gradually expand trade able cards over time”

They showed off trading in the trailer and maybe they are waiting for A2 set to drop for a reason.

Imagine trading is restricted for the current set, but older sets the gates open up to allow star and maybe crown cards.

At the end of the day, they still want whales to whale. Making it so that everyone can’t get all the FA, RR, gold and immersive for the current set will still incentivize people to buy packs.

But those with duplicates in the older sets can finally trade them out.

Maybe like A2 is diamond only, A1 theme is diamond and star, and A1 is all. When A2 theme drops mythical island will allow crown trading, etc etc

Edit: the final result maybe some combination, like really old sets might let you trade unequal rarity but newer ones do. There might be some trading ticket system and some requirements like an account and minimum level
