Blocked from the community market for the third time in 30 days. Is this dying game worth the hassle?

First of all i want to clarify that artifact is not my reason of living, i have a balanced life, a job, etc but i am, and judging by the many posts here about the game dying, one of the few people that really enjoy the game, put many hours into it, hope it succeeds and have faith in valve and the many promises they have made about this game. However, i find it ironic and infurating that now i have been banned for the third time in the last 30 days from using the community market.

First i was banned from the market for using a "new" credit card on steam. I tried the verification process but the verification funds were billed after the ban was naturally lifted. Fair enough, no big deal. A few days after that, i had to reset my steam password caus i had forgotten it and i needed to log on steam via a browser to, ironically, enter a giveaway for an artifact beta code. I was banned again, for a week. Ok, i hadn't read the terms and stuff, that was on me. But today, after having to go through 2 bans in a row i decided to finally add some more funds (the HUGE sum of...10 $) and buy the few missing cards i needed to complete my UG storm deck), BAM, banned again for a week. And the worst part is, i used a different credit card this time, which i have been using on steam FOR YEARS and which i used to make 2 purchases for 10$ each last week with no problems whatsoever. Now could someone enlighten me and please tell me why i have been banned this time? it makes absolutely no sense to me.

Now, i know it's not a big deal, i just have to wait one more week before i can use the market again and complete my decks, but seriously, how frustrating is this? on top of lacking features, no progression, no ladder, etc. Right now i'll go back to mtg and hs and only god knows if i'll ever go back to artifact.

I know this thread is not constructive but i just felt like ranting. Thanks for reading.
