Why do we want to open up our reward pool for exploitation again when we fought so hard to get rid of the bots from modern. No problem with the new game mode but I am uncomfortable about the reward pool exploitation

I don't intend to open up our reward pool for exploitation. This mode is quite different than the other game modes we have, and it's very difficult to predict what the possible exploits will be or how they will work out ahead of time. I know a lot of people have thoughts on how it can potentially be exploited, and they may or may not be correct, but I prefer to try it and find out rather than try to guess. I suspect we would end up spending time addressing some exploits that never end up panning out in reality, and missing other things that we didn't anticipate.
The plan is to release the format, see what issues come up, and then address them quickly. We have many different ways to address all of the different possible issues that we can think of, so we are going to see what comes up and then decide (together with the community) which way(s) are best to resolve them.
I understand and I know that you have been bot neutral, however that neutrality has almost cost us everything. There is nothing wrong with a new game mode. But why open it up for bots? Why can’t we have the mode just like modern. I understand it won’t be a lot of games and yea it won’t cater to that certain clientele.
For years every single update or change was designed to curtail bot and finally with the introduction of wild pass we ultimately stopped the leak. Why open up a whole league and test the same hypothesis that: “if you let people exploit they will exploit”. We already know this!
Because it could boost the economy if done right, but I agree with you, a free entry for sb bot accounts is not the way to go for sure. The season pass didn´t stop the leak, bots have rotated to free brawls with 0 investment and now Matt is suggesting that adding another revenue stream for accounts that dont put in anything at all might not be an issue. On the other hand if we allow this to happen for let´s say 1-2 seasons, I think this can provide better data, to then put in a season pass for the new mode, at a reasonable price.When the season pass was implemented it crashed the rental market and the card market as a consquence,because it simply was and is too expensive, so bots left. You guys should meet in the middle with this and try to get the bots back in, but in a way where they have to rent a decent deck in order to make a profit.
