Save us Microsoft, from this money pit. Several modes need gold or money to be spent 2 play per run. Battlegrounds, orginally an arcade battle royal now require payment to unlock choice, emotes and "advance stats" which expires every season. New mercenery mode requires gold investment. The original card game bit is Pay for some of the strongest cards each season, an advantage you can't grind for. Theres still fun to be had but the gap is glaring.
