Deck Capacity Abuses
Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2021 8:45 am
Card collectors at or above deck capacity should not be allowed to add cards to their decks via auction.
Several nations have exceeded their limit by thousands and some by tens of thousands of cards. A close look reveals this includes five of the nations in the Deck Value (DV) top ten. This is an absurd practice and should be stopped.
The best price on 1000 card deck capacity is 285.00 B. Beyond 1000 cards adding capacity is increasingly expensive, eventually reaching the point of prohibitive. The original idea of the game's creators was to prevent decks of this size, as they are "unwieldy" and threaten the stability of the site. That explanation seems straight forward enough.
Let's look at the prohibitive cost of extremely large decks. Owning a 5,000 card deck costs 40,093.00 Bank. Some of these top players could pay that amount, but they'd have to sell some cards. At 10,000 cards it's 334,818.00 Bank and few could handle the cost. At 15,000 cards, the cost is a whopping 1,132.675.00 Bank. Only KK could pay that, though he'd have to liquidate most all his cards. It's a ridiculous situation. Yet these five players still sit there in the top ten of DV and honestly, they shouldn't be listed there. They owe debts in deck capacity.
Going forward, this could be prevented if nations at deck capacity were blocked from buying cards at auction until in compliance. Selling their cards at auction should still continue. Think of all the great cards which might hit the market for sale in this scenario? It might also reign in some of the inflation problems. It could be a great restorative moment for the game.
In the meantime, these owed back deck capacity costs could be deducted from their current DV as a form of motivation. Let the DV standings reflect this. This is a fairly simple plan and It would give us a better assessment of real DV standings in the future.
