RE: Improved version of Solution to Minimize Bot Farms

in #spsproposal7 months ago

This is ALMOST a yes for me. Rentals need to be included somehow in being able to earn from playing, otherwise there's no point in renting & will hurt rental market as it'll become a total loss for renters. I'd be on board with rentals earning less than owned cards as a form of balance & bringing more value to ownership. Note: I do not rent whatsoever, I just understand the rental economy is very important to this ecosystem.

Sort:  

when the botfarm quantity decreases, the rating inflation decreases. This in turn leads to the wilderness becoming more competitive again and people will strive to have strong decks to survive in combat. This in turn leads to people renting a lot more cards again because they can't level up with a few cheap 1bcx cards. and because the rewards naturally increase due to the account reduction, it is of course worth renting more again.

I say the rent will go up. We even have evidence that shows this is very likely to happen. let's look at modern. Because the bot farms there can no longer cause rating inflation, it is much more competitive there and people rent a lot more there.
or another scenario when the modern bots had to go wild.
The number of bots in wild has almost doubled.
what has happened there? The wild rents have fallen because they have increased the rating inflation and therefore required far fewer cards for the same rating.

in the proposal 50,000 cp are required for silver.
But only one cl core set at silver level has 83,200 cp.
So if it becomes even halfway as competitive as modern, then even the entire CL core set won't be enough to survive there. That means there is a lot of room and need for additional rent.

"However, this requirement can only be achieved through ownership or received delegation." Do rentals apply/count as "received delegation"?

no, but look at how low the requirements are. like i said, it's not even a cl core set. just with the cl reward cards at silver lvl, you already have almost half the requirements for silver. so people have to rent a lot of extra cards if they want to win fights^^

Not gonna lie, a lot of your message went over my head because I felt it was over-complicating my concern.
My only concern is that rentals CP can still earn SPS from battles, if they can & that is clarified/included somehow, then it will be a yes from me.

people who do not own cp and only rent can still earn sps in all modern leagues but in wild only in bronze.
if you own the required minimum cp, you can earn everywhere even if you only play with rented cards

Understood. I disagree and think full/primary rental accounts in Wild should be able to earn SPS from battles for their rental investments/corresponding league above Bronze even if they're owned/delegated CP doesn't meet those league requirements. I personally think rented CP should count.

like i said, then the whole proposal would be useless because just cp rent is too cheap, 10,000 cp cost 1 dec. it would just be a waste of time
