Thanks for the proposal, Matt.
I support the primary idea behind it.
But, I think the price is too high. 25k DEC, at peg 25$, would put a GFL at around 70% cost of the cheapest non-soulbound CL GFL (35$). With the latter already being non-soulbound, thus transferable, burnable, etc.
So my obvious question in that regards would be: what are the costs to make soulbound cards actually non-soulbound. My guess would be that this would be similar to 25k DEC on top, or maybe even more, putting the baseline to 50k DEC (50$ at peg). I'd like to have this defined now, rather than later.
My other concern with this approach, is that it disincentivizes buying energy (burning of DEC/DEC-B for it) for battle rewards.
Due to the low SPS price and asset prices in general, the rewards are already lacking in value vs. the money spent for energy. With SB reward cards now also being possibly more expensive than other reward cards, I think people will stop buying energy after the first days of the season (after pool has been drained again) and/or after they've reached the full set, which could be much earlier than the end of print.
While I don't have a direct path to action, I would like to see more focus on primary account holder benefits, players who focus on a single or max 2-3 accounts and regardless whether they're a minnow, dolphin or whale.
I believe the biggest reason we're having this issue right now, is because people are abusing low rental costs/SB rewards with multi-account bot setups to farm the SB reward cards. While primary account holders, usually just try to min-max with a single account, which is far less invasive to the card inflation and market in general.
It appears you're letting your Hive Power go to waste... How about Delegating some of it to me for a week or two...??? I could be passing out some awesome up-votes...
