RE: Improved version of Solution to Minimize Bot Farms

in #spsproposal7 months ago

Bronko, can you please clarify the number of days for the cooldown?

Once an account plays a match in the Wild format, all cards eligible for CP requirement receive a cooldown. This cooldown is applied as if the account had actually played those cards, even if it did not.

My main issue with this proposal is whether or not this would cost too much to make the CP calculations. If the team says its not significant relative to their overall cost structure, then that should be included too (if you want more votes).

On the rental topic, I can see that some people would have a problem with the concept. I haven't really formulated my own opinion yet.

Sort:  

hey,
yes of course, it's the normal cooldown period that is currently active when a card is played. that would be 48 hours in which that card is not playable for any other account.

i'll clarify the rest. but i personally don't think it would matter now, since less botfarm accounts would consume server resources, i would assume it would even out in the end. and because matt said in the last town hall that we should resubmit the proposal because of the new circumstances. if that wouldn't work because of the cost, it would be pretty mean to say we should make a new one^^

ok cool on the clarification of the cooldown.

On the team costs, hopefully its not meaningful. I agree that Matt probably doesn't think its a big cost or he wouldn't have said it could be resubmitted. But it never hurts to ask. @clayboyn might be able to help you with getting that answer, or maybe even @investigator can chime in if its an issue on his end too.

yes thank you, i'll ask him tomorrow when he's awake, if he doesn't read this already^^

Just wanted to point out that "not playable" has no affect on "counts as CP"

IF a bot lord setup his bot farm with this feature- delegating cards to increase CP of the bots, putting the 'purely there for CP' cards in cooldown would have 0 real world effect.
