I get the need for the constant balancing acts... but all these balances always seem to be hurting the new players... Yes, it also hurts the bots (which I get is great for the existing players long-term), but wouldn't it be better to just ban the bots then?
I'm assuming bots are good for our DappRadar etc. rankings... so we DO want bots for that reason... but if we have this huge influx of new players because the game looks so promising, only for them to get disillusioned and quit... doesn't that hurt the game long-term as well?
Either way: Good luck to the team making the hard calls ;-)
OK... musings aside, I do have a serious question:
(I have gone searching, but can't find the answer): Are regular quest & season rewards also determined by league and/or CP?
e.g. X% chance of receiving gold/legendary, or even ANY, cards in bronze leagues... but 2X%, 3X% etc. for silver, gold and so on? i.e. Are the reward %s (cards vs DEC vs packs etc.) the same across all leagues and the higher the league the more you'll get simply because you're opening more chests?
My main account is sailing along nicely... but on this account I seem to be getting nowhere on the rewards front. Yes, I totally get that 1% of 5 cards every season is gonna yield a lot fewer (actually 0) gold/legendary cards than 1% of 50 cards every season... but I'm hardly getting ANY cards in quest/season rewards while hanging about in Bronze III - isn't it be 50% chance of cards?
i.e. Is this by design, or just bad luck so far and just requires a lot more grinding?
I share the same thoughts with you too. Deterring new players does not help the game in the long term.
Btw, for Bronze III, the chance for cards have been recently changed to 10%. So that's two downgrades in less than a month for new players.
OK... that explains it... thanks.

P.S. Anyone able to point me to an official "rewards schedule" (not just how many chests we get, but %s what those chests could contain) for the various leagues?

ENGAGEtoday.I won't be surprised if the legit newcomers were like "earn tokens for 10 bucks MY FOOT!"
hope the fud don't spread faster than wildfires. why don't they reward novices/bronze 3 players with credits? atleast, that'll give them a leg up to buy some cards to increase their fighting chance if not get themselves outta the hellhole for a while. and let's imagine for a moment that those farm bots were legit, live, conservative investors. if our reward pool gets to uh-oh level that fast, then there's a bigger issue here! this game still lacks the mean to earn some back. potion business? pffft... what we all need is something worth spending our dec's... how about a mini game! like a wheel of fortune where we spend 10dec per spin and get a chance to win 100, 300, 500, 1000, to 2000 credits! or get a lump of coal if luck is not on your side.

Actually they ARE being rewarded in credits in Bronze... and only credits (I think)... but THAT's even worse... because ~10 credits (I've even received 1 credit before) per chest means like 400+ days of playing quests before you can even afford a pack.
cc @splintrelands ... Spit-balling some ideas here:
How about a) banning bots b) rewarding bronze with JUST credits... but a lot higher number of credits (which can only be used to buy packs in game, right?)

edit *
the number of credits awarded can/should even decrease as the account in question earns more and more credits... i.e. Will be "quick" (say 2 seasons) to earn 4, 000 credits... the next 4, 000 credits should take double that amount of time on average and so on and so on?
edit 2 * after $10/$XXX, or XXX CP, worth of cards/packs/ have been opened then each chest is guaranteed to only hold 1 credit.
... Would this not make bots 'unprofitable'?
I hope they use your ideas on specific targets mainly, the bots and the owner. not all novices and bronze 3 players. it's possible! they already have the means to monitor card/dec/sps flow. if one account transfers all of its assets, it's obvious that it's a bot.
You cannot sent token to yourself.
ENGAGEtoday.lots of events there man, like tournaments with entry fees of dec and most offers nice prizes.
LOL!!!
legit newcomer here, started playing about a week ago and have been getting my fuck kicked outta me. Earn sps tokens for 10 bucks my foot for real, thats exactly what i thought and still am thinking.
Sigh.
What to do?
