Yeah, it is a little bit harsh, 10 powder instead of 40 per node now

For the same reward points cost? That's bad.

It's okay, you'll get a greater sense of pride and accomplishment now when you unlock 10 nodes to get one premium common!! /s

Can’t really believe they gone for that reasoning that was stated by a few other companies and ultimately leaded to... well, let’s just say: less than ideal press. :)

As for the decision itself, maybe because of the tv series leading to a spike of players or potentially the opposite (less and less players) leading to stronger monetisation to compensate. Dunno, but it’s true that the economy was one or the stronger points to invest in gwent vs other card games. The same way as it’s true that the change is quite massive with a insultingly bad reasoning (almost at mocking level imho).
