I think it's important to realize that there were problems with the old system and that bringing it back as it was will likely never happen. My suggestion on how to turn this into something more actionable to vote on would be to outline more clearly what is expected and how to implement it in a way that addresses the previous problems and establishes a base on how to move forward productively. Here is my personal suggestion:
Introduce leagues with x card limits (both minimum and maximum, minimums are important at gold/diamond/champ)
Allow players to choose their league based on which cards they have that qualify for that league. (higher level cards can be reduced to league caps, cards under league cap cannot be played at all)
Suggested rewards split proportional to investment (maybe 1% novice, 4% bronze, 10% silver, 20% gold, 25% diamond, 40% champ)
Establish Glint based leaderboard prizes at the team's discretion.
Make this change in Modern only for testing purposes.
I'd only half agree with you.
I do agree that we don't want to reintroduce the exact system we removed, with all it's problems.
But I don't agree that the proposal needs to have all specifics completely sorted - this represents a stake-weighted poll, to determine if the community wants to give the team and DAO a mandate -- to work together and come up with a workable league-type system.
If this passes, it means we need a working group to explore the old problems and propose solutions. I'd suggest as a gameplay issue, this is totally under the team's purview, so this type of open-ended, detail-lite proposal gives us the ability to find out what the stakeholders want as a whole.
Thx for the input. I will be processing the suggestions hopefully tomorrow. And have some more talks with people.
Yes, The whole point of taking the league caps off was to encourage players to level up their cards. We had players sitting in silver league with very little incentive to ever upgrade their deck. I think that allowing only cards within in one level of each league would work great. Example, Bronze league would allow up to silver cards, silver league would allow up to gold level cards, and gold league and above would be max level. also, we could bring back leaderboard rewards and do it like survival move. Basing it all on how far you climb in a single season. example, if you start in silver three and get to gold one, you probably will be on the top of the leaderboard for silver league. T
