I think that a lot of people have missed the point of this proposal. This isn't about devaluing old cards, it is about devaluing spellbooks. This view might be easier to swallow for non-botters, but in my opinion, it does not make it better ethically as an investment into spellbooks is still a fair investment, and purchasing spellbooks and botting was never explicitly forbidden.

I propose another solution that would fix the issue of low-level card bots and also indirectly devalue spellbooks, but maybe in a less painful way.

Larger collections and higher-level cards should convert to a higher win rate, which should convert to a higher rating, which should convert to more rewards.

I think that it would be beneficial for everyone if the reward system was set up so that it wouldn't make sense economically for botters to run thousands of accounts, but rather to collect assets in one account and bot on that one, in an attempt to get as high rating and as many rewards as possible.

This would motivate everyone, including large botters, to buy many cards and combine them to higher levels. For this to happen, we would need to shift the distribution reward to the tail of people with the highest rating, which is fair in my opinion, as these people have made significant investments into owning the game assets, including SPS.

I would love to get more opinions on this.
