This proposal changes the use of vouchers from promo sales to just use vouchers to get full items.
This is even worst than what we have now.
If the team uses the "voucher shop" to sell a worthless skin then vouchers will have the same utility than with cryptoeaters proposal, 0.
If the teams uses the "voucher shop" to sell useful things like cards then the damage of vouchers to dec would be far worst than what we have now. People will just sell dec to get vouchers to get the new shinny card instead of buying dec if the card was just sold for dec.
Theres no upside to this proposal, theres not good outcome.
It also puts all the weight and responsability to maintain voucher useful onto the teams back once again.
Fair enough. I understand the sentiment that any "shop" items could be sold via DEC but I do believe that moves everything from being available to the few (proof of time stakers) to the many (anyone has access to DEC). At the end of the day, just wanted to get the conversation going around alternative approaches. Cheers for droppin by to stick a comment on here, Eldon!
Im sorry Im agasint your idea bjangles, I know it comes from a good place.
But thing is that what you are proposing is for the team to do what they have been trying to do with vouchers this entire time. To create enough voucher sinks. Sadly they will fail because they wont sustain it in time.
And this will actually backfire. In the future we will either have less vouchers around in exchange of increasing the card pool (if the cards are good) or we will keep having a voucher problem and oversupply (if the cards are crap).
We should really go back to matts original idea of stop emiting vouchers and build something with that premise, everything else will fail.
All good man! No need to apologize. I'm of the belief that there is plenty up Nate & co's sleeves to more than satisfy the community's appetite for aesthetics, that this would be a win for new players by way of re-introducing the unique & collectible back into the game and the team can price these things at absurd rates aimed to wipe vouchers from the table. I expect we'll get more info as one of these proposals moves forward. I could be wrong (and in fairness, so could you), in which case, we can swing the pendulum further and completely omit vouchers. That's always on the table.
I have to admit your proposal would look a lot better if it stated vouchers will only be exchangeable for cosmetic stuff
Even if this passes I really hope the team wont implement selling cards for vouchers, that would be bad.
