@davemccoy,
Can we just acknowledge some of the slew other things that will happen?

1. New players will be blocked out from playing in Wild and never come back to the game. (Because Modern/Bronze is an unmitigated hellscape)
2. Casual players won't want to pay to play a few games/season and will leave the game.
3. By reducing the Reward Multiplier, we will reduce the amount of SPS rented by the accounts in Wild (which make up 95% of the active accounts in SPL)- further eroding the value of SPS.
4. Increase the overall % of botted accounts- the fee/season will only make sense if you 'play' 300+ games/season and only bots do that consistently.

Currently, the only way for a single (player) account to compete with bots is through the multiplier- cut that by half and the bots do better.

I do agree- there a dozens of simpler and more effective ways to achieve the stated goals but this.... well this proposal will have the opposite effect. Selling pressure on assets, preventing new engagement, forcing out current players, rewarding bots.
