Hi ruffriders23, I didn't say that you can only get good cards from gem recruitment. I meant and only meant the appear rate of 6 star cards in guild shop is low because we don't want to devalue the gem recruitment too much. You can still get good cards from guild shop and you just need to wait patiently for them to appear.

No telling how many pulls I'd have to do to get not one, but TWO more. The cards you mentioned are HP cards outside of Chimera... and duplicates for me, as well as cards you COULD get in the Guild Shop. The point of a gem pull should be to get cards you could otherwise NOT get. If I can get them in levels or the Guild Shop, why am I burning real dollars and gems to get the same cards?
The 200 gem pull is equally as random... if you can even say random. Anything from a possible 8* down to a 6* Cat Thief or Birdman. And... the times I've done the 50 and 200 pulls, I've gotten just as much garbage as the 500 pulls. The reason you do a 500 pull is volume. You technically have a better chance at pulling a Chimera or Apep or something. But... as I've shown... your chances of a "good" card are 15% at BEST. OH... and lower level players don't have 500 gems to burn, and likely won't spend real $$$ on a game they can't even be sure they are good enough to compete at with their low-level cards. The people spending $$$ are gamers.
We introduced guild shop because players were saying we should provide a way for non-paying players to get 5 star and 6 star cards. Yes, they can get some of the good cards that are in the gem recruiting list, but they need patience to get them. By doing gem recruitment, you can get 5 star and 6 star cards immediately. But since the 50-gem and 200-gem recruitment is a random drawing system and every high level player has many good cards in their deck already, it's not guaranteed that the random result will be satisfying each time. Your card draws are not bad at all even for mid-level players. If you don't like the random system, the game also provides the 250-gem recruitment which is a fixed 6 star card.
