As we discussed previously on the draft of my proposal
I disagree with your view because I have a TON of currently unrentable cards that fall into that category.
Please remember, if a card IS rented at least ONE TIME in the 60 Days, it renews the 60 Day Window.
L4 Djinn Oshannus and Djinn Bjilka are a prime example you provided. The both rent for less than 1 DEC per day... but since they are playable cards, they will continue to rent and BENEFIT from the increase.
The L1, L2 and L3 versions rent for less naturally but if the proposal passes, there are only two probable outcomes:
A. The L4's rent for 1 DEC and the L3's and below fail to rent...
B. The L4's rent for 1 DEC but people realize they could list the L2's for 1, the L3's for 1.3 and the L4's for 1.5 DEC or something like that, making them all more profitable.
The benefit to option A is, if the L4's rent out at the Floor and the Lower Levels do not... this is a HUGE incentive to LEVEL UP THE CARDS.
With the removal of Card Level Caps in the Ranked Battles, this isn't a good thing... it's a GREAT thing!!
"Unplayable" cards simply won't rent and they won't clog up the servers with useless Tx's
That is why I see no downside to what you are saying.
I know you disagree but I still think everyone will be proven wrong if this passes. The whole economy will be negativily affected. I just wanted to comment this in the official proposal post.
Thank you for asking, I welcome and genuinely appreciate all feedback on this matter 😊
I think the main positive effect could be saving server costs, maybe, would like some input from the team. Did you talk to them?
I am not buying that bots are renting tons of cheap cards, they mostly play with soulbound reward cards and just happily play each other in wild bronze to gold. If you dont believe me make a new account and play wild. I did it for science and to see how bad it is and I haven't faced a single non-soulbound card until 2200 (where I stopped out of boredom).
Mainly this will push the price of CL rentals, after all you can rent some useful CL cards for under 1 DEC, even at max level. Whether this is a good thing, who knows. I would be curious how much DEC is burned by listing unrented cards. Effectively people stopping to try could mean less DEC is burned, whether this is worth the saved server costs, I can't tell.
I actually created the account @pointonedec and fed it a ton of Single BCX CL cards and others that rented consistently for .1 DEC
The ROI was bananas but as things are changing it started coming down so I added in some RB cards to bolster the falling ROI.
Eventually I abandoned the project and I am simply waiting for the cards to come off rent so I can transfer/combine/sell them.
By doing this and renting these ultra cheap 1 BCX cards I saw most of the rent names were obvious bots with names like abc123, abc124, abc125 etc vs my other accounts where I rent Max Level CL/RW/RB cards and the names were JohnnyBoy69 or TomBombadil1975 - as in actual players :)
In the end, this experiment and data gave me the idea to make this proposal which would then force the Bots to rent at 10x their costs.
I think the pros far outweigh any cons and for the actual players who rent cards 1 DEC, even with DEC at peg is still only a tenth of a Penny or $.001 😄
