I think collections should have a voting system, like dispatches. You could upvote collections you like and downvote ones you don't. I think collections can be difficult to find, and the best ones should be visible to everyone. Maybe another tab in the market, like "Top Collections"?

I love this idea, it gives more importance to collections and rewards players for having creative or unique collections, not just having lots of deck value or money.

I agree, it's a good suggestion. Like a casual pat on the back for doing the work to chase down these cards.

Oh, this sounds very interesting.

I've seen many collections during my time in NS Cards, and some have proven to be much more interesting than that of high deck value ones.

For example, I've noticed a borderline complete collection of commended users, a complete list of all the firstly-ranked nations in terms of NS stats, an immense, yet adorably immense, archive of cats, a wacky, but aesthetically pleasing display of GIF cards, and even a difficult to create, yet somehow completed, database of every single game volunteer we've had... card-wise.

Who's to say that these collections aren't notable by themselves? They're unique, and many of those cards in said collections aren't even reputed for their high deck values, but for the accomplishments each user (behind those cards) has achieved during their NS career (for example: being an RP Mentor doesn't yield a necessarily high market value, but it's definitely still a great achievement to have for a NS user, especially when considering the amount of collections made that feature said RP Mentor). I'd like to see collections not merely be recognized by the quantity of value behind those collections, but also the actual quality of said cards that comprise the whole of a collection.

Simply put, yes, I'd like to see this idea be considered. A card player's collection definitely should not merely be judged by the amount of high-value legendaries (or whatever card, really) they possess, but the actual uniqueness of those collections as well, and upvoting a player's collection sounds like a good solution.

I like the idea, though there needs a different voting mechanics than the dispatch one

I love the idea! :')

Indeed
It should be illegal to vote your own collection with puppets (like entering WA with multiple nations), since you could be on top10 with ANY collection if you have 435345345234524234242432526 pups.

And/or maybe a rate system?! Like 1-10 points, and people can decide how much they like it.

Another thing would be interesting to see is to be able to put whole collections on auction, not just single cards.
