I suppose I should be happy I didn't allocate the money I was going to before seeing this proposal. I would have been really ticked off if I doubled my holdings right before they doubled the requirements. There are a number of wild cards I was eyeballing that seem like great deals to me atm but I can't justify buying them yet/at all till I see if I'll be paying for more than 1-2 seasons to test the changes.
This proposal is set to pass in 3 days and my initial post wasn't actually constructive so let me add my thoughts a bit more for the dev's to add to their data.
For the record I only own 1 account. I have 23k SPS staked. I bought and staked the first 1500 units for a little more than $800 @ just over $0.50 per. Currently that 23k I have built up is 15x my initial buy in years ago now and worth about 1/3 so forgive me if I'm salty for being told I have to buy more. If the price of SPS continues to drop overall for another year or 2, while we wait for the NPE stuff and things like Soulkeep to potentially start to generate more demand for SPS, are wild players going to be told to buy more SPS again?
I do mostly bot run the account in wild diamond/champ. I started botting in wild before bots were outlawed in modern because while most of my deck is CL I do have a few Beta and Untamed era cards as well & some of them where not cheap when I bought them compared to now so I like to use them and prefer wild for more card options. I swapped to botting when the energy system changed. I only have time to play on the weekends. That use to work out ok for me previously since I could play at peak efficiency for the first 2 days then burn out to 0% the last day with the week to refill. Now I'm limited to about 100-125 potential matches a weekend or about 200ish total matches a season out of the 360ish total available without buying more. I averaged over a 50% win rate myself, but the bot at a 50% win rate gets roughly 180 wins a season. That would require me to win 90% of my matches!
Right now I'm making .7 SPS and 185 Glint per win in diamond 1 before gold card bonuses etc. My pure SPS earnings a season don't equal $2 right now even if they didn't come to me staked and I could sell them for the season pass. If they double the staking requirements I'm down to less than a dollar a season in SPS and less than 100 Glint a win. I'm not happy with my earnings as they are and I do want to grab some more wild cards while they are so cheap, but there just isn't any point buying more SPS or cards if the game costs me more to play it each season than I make or could potentially make by spending what I can afford. I could put that same moneys into Rebellion cards and play modern but I'd still be making less than I am now since I just don't have the play time. For me this is a lose-lose situation.
