I feel like you've misunderstood me. To be clear, I don't think "if the botfarms go away the rental market will die." I 100% want bot farms to go away, and while it may have a short term effect on the card markets, it will generate healthy economic foundations from which the game will be able to grow more sustainably. Rather, I think that preventing ranked reward play for people who only rent will massively affect the rental market. It's basically creating a system where one has to commit to spending up to thousands of dollars if they want to get into a new game, which is a hard sell! Better to implement a mechanism by which one account per person can be ensured, then we don't need to put off so many new players. Most people aren't like me - a reckless crazy who blows $7000 on an addictive game. They might get into the game though if they can spend like $10 or $20 a month on rentals. Bots will remain with this proposal anyway as long as there is still value. They'll regroup and establish whether it is worth investing the minimum CP amount to extract rewards. If the rewards have financial value, they will remain, it's that simple. And if they don't then the game won't be P2E anymore and the team might have to charge $0.50 per pack instead of $4 in future, or maybe have an MTG style monthly battle pass.

well if you want to play without buying cards you can still play in modern. but without playing yourself and without owning cards nobody should be able to extract our system like a token mining operation ;)
above all, the cp are also set very low in wild. the cp do not even correspond to a cl core set at the respective level
