Im sorry Im agasint your idea bjangles, I know it comes from a good place.
But thing is that what you are proposing is for the team to do what they have been trying to do with vouchers this entire time. To create enough voucher sinks. Sadly they will fail because they wont sustain it in time.
And this will actually backfire. In the future we will either have less vouchers around in exchange of increasing the card pool (if the cards are good) or we will keep having a voucher problem and oversupply (if the cards are crap).
We should really go back to matts original idea of stop emiting vouchers and build something with that premise, everything else will fail.
All good man! No need to apologize. I'm of the belief that there is plenty up Nate & co's sleeves to more than satisfy the community's appetite for aesthetics, that this would be a win for new players by way of re-introducing the unique & collectible back into the game and the team can price these things at absurd rates aimed to wipe vouchers from the table. I expect we'll get more info as one of these proposals moves forward. I could be wrong (and in fairness, so could you), in which case, we can swing the pendulum further and completely omit vouchers. That's always on the table.
I have to admit your proposal would look a lot better if it stated vouchers will only be exchangeable for cosmetic stuff
Even if this passes I really hope the team wont implement selling cards for vouchers, that would be bad.
