Hey PS. I think the bad part of the proposal system is that we (the community) take every vote so personal. Because people are so vested (which is a good thing) it creates winners and losers with every vote. If it were a "preference process" and then the team could decide knowing the opinions of the community members (individually and collectively), then I think this type of thing would be a good thing to vote on.
However, as currently configured, in conjunction with what Matt said that he wants the DAO to vote on these things, then I feel that these votes are more divisive than productive.
In reality on this issue in particular, there is a natural dynamic from the "customer always wanting a cheaper price in ANYTHING" vs. the "business always wanting the most earnings possible in ANYTHING". So trying to find the right balance is not as easy as making a binary decision. (meaning $2 or $4 and nothing else considered)
Since I look at both sides of the argument and feel that each has its merits, then I will be opting to find a better idea than either $2 or $4. I believe its possible and I hope the community doesn't get divided so bad that we are unable to find a 3rd alternative that works much better.
I'm willing to discuss further with you or anyone if you want. I'm happy to find solutions, but I would prefer not to have a divisive DAO vote until we've had further discussion.
Thank you, Dave! I am looking forward to hearing your ideas on a "middle ground". While I am not necessarily pushing for a proposal (yet), I figure we should start the conversation NOW before we cut it too close to make any changes. Always a please to chat with you my man! Cheers!
I'm preparing for our Saturday conversation. Just hit me up when you're around PS. And always a pleasure to chat with you too!!! :)
It really as complicated as you are making it. I came in during Untamed and bought packs. I even bought the some vouchers at $20+ dollars to make it to 100 in a buy with a friend during the CL presale. I even bought some RW packs. At $4/pack for rebellion I drew the line for all the reasons that psilence pointed out. I bought 3 packs out of boredom one day and never again. I'll pass on Conclave as well. I imagine I'll get tired of buying wild cards at some point and lose interest in the game entirely as deck building is one of the most enjoyable parts of the game for me.
I'm not making anything, this isn't my proposal. My point is that people are going to fight over 2 very valid points of view. I'm sure that you will have people with your perspective of what's right, as there will be people on the other side that feel their perspective is right. My point is you guys should be talking and finding a solution.
But I also realize there are people that think their way of thinking is the right way to think, and that applies on both sides of the issue.
So it is what it is, I was trying to help bring people together to solve a solution.
