RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Alternate Solution to Address Bot Farms & Wild/Modern Format Discrepancies

in #spsproposal6 months ago

Ahhh, Dave. So simple, so naive.
While the other proposal (put bots back in Modern) does exist and while it may mitigate some of the nightmarishness of that format- it has it's own issues, so let's not engage in magical thinking but instead concentrate on this proposal.

  1. According to Matt's numbers ~45K of the 75K accounts playing in Wild, play <= 50 games/season- which according to my calculations is not 'a minority'
  2. Increasing the amount of SPS to get the same multiplier IS reducing the multiplier/SPS- it's simple math. If 10K SPS = 8x changes to 20K = 8x, then the multiplier/SPS has gone down.
  3. Yes, this proposal will 'get rid of' (at least) 60K active accounts, of the 75K currently playing in Wild- all the ones that remain will be bots.

I did not 'create in my mind' these reasons why it will be bad- these are real, actual reasons this will not achieve the stated goals. In fact, I never said it would be bad- in fact I believe it will be beneficial, for many. Accounts that don't own/rent cards or SPS but play many games, for example, will do really, really well.
