Sorry if this is in the wrong place but feel free to move it to the appropriate location if this is indeed in the wrong place. However, back on topic:
With this new "trade in leaves to get boss cards" quest that's done once a day, it gives many of us a chance to get boss PQ cards that we'd never otherwise have a chance at (Ex. King Slime, Papa Pixie, Alishar, etc.). However, on the other hand, it makes cards such as area boss cards very easy to get. Im not sure about some of you guys but I spent hours each day hunting area bosses to get the area boss cards I have (Eliza, Old Fox, Kimera) and really, it takes away from the "pride" of having the card.
Im not sure what other's peoples reason is to collecting cards, but I actually find hunting them fun and challenging, much more so than collecting leaves and trading them in for these cards. I know when I found my Old Fox card after doing in total perhaps 60 hours of Fox hunting, it felt really good as if "yes, I accomplished something!"... just buying cards kinda takes away from that feeling, as if I took a shortcut or whatnot.
My question is this: For those avid collectors out there, will you be going for purely cards that you cant get elsewhere (Ex. King Slime, Alishar, Lord Pirate, Papa Pixie) or will you just be grabbing whatever you can, regardless of boss type? Im asking this because Ive thought of both: on one hand, I can take the easy way out and get a bunch of bosses I'd probably spend months hunting every few hours to look for, or I can do it "the right way" (I dont mean that people who just buy them arent doing it the right way, Im just presenting that as another opinion) and hunt for them.
Tl;dr: Does using these leaves to get cards other than those you have no other way of obtaining cause you to infringe on your "Monster book integrity" (that makes it sound so much more serious than it actually is, LOL...for lack of a better term)?
