If those 100 bots buy the requisite cards, then why can't they play? Again, I 'm saying that the bronze should play the bronze and the diamond play the diamond. God bless the guy that buys enough cards to have 100 teams in the diamond level in the season rewards program. We will all be rich if that were to happen.

I'm trying to point out that the argument that we will have 8000 players is a strawman argument, there are many ways to stop that from happening and by tying them to the leagues that is the easiest way.

Another way would be to "block" any account that you "deem" to abuse the system... There are tons of workarounds, but charging a fee (as mentioned in my long reply above) is taking money and giving it to those that are willing to pay it. That isn't right and I would find a hard time believing that you feel I shouldn't be able to play based on my cards bought. And don't tell me I should just pay the fee, because it isn't an option because I won't as its not something I was ever told about as a requirement to enter these tourneys.

If they want to stop the fees until such time as a working group can come up with a feasible solution to the 8000 people problem, then I'm all for that. I would even be happy to be a part of finding an alternative solution to charging fees to get what I have already been promised access to.
