This article is making me very suspicious of the paper quality from the paper manufacturer. That's the hardest part to change if something goes wrong due to the need for new and old cards to be consistent.

Today we've got the first article regarding coating. You can read it here.
It looks like they are reacting HARD to all the recent calls from the community for more openness and better communication, as well as the complaints about the (US made) card quality of recent sets. That's great! This combined with the fact that they actually went back on the FNM promos make me believe that they are truly listening, which isn't something I can say that I've felt in recent years.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
I can only cite an example to illustrate the best quality.
Look in your collections or whatever for cards from the Heroes vs. Monsters. For example, Miraculous Recovery from that deck. Or look for a Dictate of Heliod from the Event Deck and compare it to one from Journey Into Nyx. The ones from the main sets are dry, flimsy, cheap. The ones from smaller print products like the Event Decks or from Heroes Vs. Monsters or from any Theros Intro deck all have this thick, sturdy, glossy, saturated coating that make the cards look like gems.

US or EU main sets? Everyone I've ever met here in EU prefers the main sets.

indeed. That's because main sets are printed in EU and have a very high quality while supplementary sets are almost always printed in the US and distributed all over the world and don't have the best quality, to say the least

This is true even for Dominaria, compare a main set card with one from the PW deck and you'll see the later is more glossy

I actually came here to say that. It's true for Dominaria as well. The Gilded Lotus from the Chandra PW deck is high quality, and the main set Gilded Lotus is not.

I honestly don't like the glossiness of the pw deck ones
The thing is WoTC is tap dancing around the paper issue. My guess is going to more resistant paper brings costs up enough the upper management doesn't like it.
