why isn’t upgrading golds to cobalt an option? O.o
Cobalt cards trade up?

As far as I know there are no cobalt cards that aren’t available in gold.
And looking at all the posts that say “Damn, I have so many gold cards” this decision is made so that they are rare. If we would be able to craft cobalt, everyone would be wearing it already. As it is right now cobalt is rarely spread and just shows that the guy had luck.
Gold was supposed to be rare as well, but if you look at pub servers at the moment: There are so few people above lvl 10 who don’t have gold for most of their mercs.
Rare things aren’t rare if everyone has them

Im level 12 and have 1 gold card, and 1 silver card i dont know what kind of luck you have had but to say level 10s have “Gold for most of their mercs” seems like a stretch.

At level 10 I had 4 golds, level 12 I had 6. This was before Elite Cases were released.

Yeah, I’m not sure why trading up from Gold to Cobalt wasn’t put into the most recent release. Most likely it was a money making decision. But, it might have just been a resources/time issue as well. Even small changes can take serious time as I know all too well. So it’s probably not fair to jump to conclusions but SD really should factor in perception when they release features.
The Angry Joe Show on Twitch last night ripped Dirty Bomb to shreds because the game didn’t do a good job telling them how things worked and they were being fed incorrect information (Delrith telling him you don’t even get 100 credits a game and forgetting about the daily play/win/3 hour missions was pretty awful). They also seemed to think that the Cobalt cards are better than all the other cards and despite clearly reading the “this is bling” they still called it paid to win because it LOOKS paid to win. And when Joe found out he couldn’t trade Gold up to Cobalt he went berserk since he spent $55 on cases and got zero cobalts.
You can’t help ignorance, bad information or simple stupidity in some cases but you can go a long way towards avoiding misunderstandings if SD would try to take informing people more seriously and not make decisions that look sketchy (even if they weren’t intended as such).

I’d gladly welcome the gold-to-cobalt trade up. I am just too curious, I really want to see how those cobalt cards will look on my Kira.
