I feel like this is a counterproductive way to deal with a handful of disconnected symptoms of other unrelated issues.
In the case of a player with unlimited resources, of course you want them to level their cards instead of hoarding bcx 1. What about those who are grinding though? Maybe they play in gold, but they're happy with level 4 on that common for now because they're clever and pay attention to the stats. They'd rather devote those resources elsewhere and get more cards that will again take them months to level. If they can win, why wouldn't they be entitled to full rewards? Why does a reward pool need to be unnecessarily complicated?
This potentially limits the way players can play without being punished by the system, so I'm against it. I think it unlikely it'll be allowed to fail though, so idk why we are doing this.
Grinding without investing is what they are trying to disincentivize. I don’t know you from a fly on the wall but if you’re serious about the game, investing a bit of money in one way or the other besides the starter deck is a good way to go through things.
If you don’t have the money in fiat dollars to do it, spend more time on hive and earn it through commenting, posting and interacting with the community. Thousands of dollars of hive every single day are given out through votes and you could spend time earning some to help bolster your SL account. Just some thoughts for you, and ways that many others have done it.
Ultimately the game is one that requires you invest money into it every so often. Not every day or week but every few weeks or months, if you want to excel, you need to invest for its success.
if you read the actual proposal you will see that it sets a minimum...which for silver would be lvl 3 for a common. so you would only be penalized if you used a level 2 or 1 common in the battle. I'm not saying your wrong or right, i'm simply saying your basing your opinions on faulty information
