This is a bad idea. The only thing that kept me from leaving and selling everything was when Matt removed the League card caps.
If you bring them back to modern I will stop buying cards completely and have to make a hard decision.
The league card caps incentivizes cheating with bots, battle helpers and spreadsheets. It allows cheaters to suppress honest players from advancing AND from getting reward cards and the cheaters earn more SPS and rewards cards that way and always stay ahead of non cheaters.
It also incentivizes scholars that play for whales to make multiple accounts with their profits and camp the lower leagues.
This is a big hard no from me.
I don't trust that we have "solved the cheating problem in modern."
It's gotten a lot better, especially with this latest round of bans as now I was finally able to get to diamond last season for the first time in like a year and I have a modern diamond deck.
CL 100% max with all reward cards max
RW 90+% max
RB about 67% max and still buying
SB all over the place because of cheaters keeping me back and league card caps before the glint system
If you bring back league card caps we are going to go backwards and the bot and battle helper creators and users are going to try even harder in modern because it gives them leverage to suppress honest players.
If you want to make a new Free to Play format for new players called modern SB that is gated by account age that has league card caps and that DOES NOT EARN SPS but only earns soulbound rewards. Then I am OK with that. Maybe give them an account age or number of battles limit until they are auto thrown into modern format. Then give them the temporary 100 SPS staked from the DAO as was approved before and start the modern format tutorial at that point which at that point won't be a big learning curve.
How does the new system have anything to do with cheaters, scholars and w/e else you're talking about? If it happens in one system it happens in both. Actually, with the 20 flat rating gain/loss, scholars are a bigger (or more noticeable) problem now.
You have maxed cards (as do I) so it doesn't affect us. I imagine you are playing in Diamond or Champion. Why does it matter to you if we go back? You'll stay where you are playing with max cards against max cards.
