Don't usually log on here anymore but had to jump on and have my say, before the new changes get rolled out.
In a landscape where we have obviously lost a lot of players (judging by the amount of guilds that cant fill fray spots), I feel like having only R & Ca frays is going to make matters worse and the game will lose loyal players who have supported this game from the very beginning.
I reckon, ditch all the R & Ca only frays, include CL in Modern, and find a way to include a points system. EG. Extra points if Ca cards are used in a match. Just like how A & B & Untamed have bonuses when used on land.
I've been playing since 2018, started off thinking awesome - game is tracking well, my cards are holding if not rising in value, then subsequent updates later and my account is a fraction of what it was worth.
That is absolute crap. How can new players invest in good faith when its obvious older cards do not retain their value with every new deck release.
I say bring us back to SPL 2018-2020 era. SPL really needs to figure out how to bring back value to the older decks, to show newbies that the game is worth investing in. Lets be really practical here. Would you spend $100 on a card knowing it will lose value the moment a new deck comes out? Would you spend $100 to buy a seat at a guild knowing the fray spot you own can switch and become redundant at the next deck release?
Come on SPL. DO. BETTER.
Lets not alienate older players for the prospect of new players coming in, when new players aren't guaranteed and older players have proved their loyalty over the years.
PS. Don't rotate the frays. That's an dumb idea. Make it easier, not more complicated.
