you will never find my preventing or Mikeswill preventing you from buying a card. Also, I'm not sure I would be able to make any progress without big farma selling/trading me my cards. they are kinda essential to self-collectors. to affect the market, cards have to sold. this is why certain pull event did not affect the market, because with 20 new copies of a card, no one want to sell it.
Speak for yourself, Fauzjhia. While you give away cards (thank you for your generosity), I can think of times when MW deliberately bid up a legendary only to slip in with his many multiple cards and took the bid from some hapless player . . . although I noticed a tapering off of this behavior recently. Maybe it's true now but it wasn't true in the recent past.
he has to compete with Koem kab, who buy a lot of legendaries cards.
I don't think its anything personal. I never saw him on my trade, including the cards I bought for others, like Kwaj.
Ideal solution
Restoration using reconstructed trades data is obviously the most ideal, if possible. This has been discussed and I think most people would be happy with this.
Additionally, this should be complimented by other changes to make up for lost time. The biggest flaw is of course is not addressing per-nation pulls and junked cards, but I'll point out that a year of issues answering produces 292 packs, which represents 2-3 legendary cards. The bigger loss is the bank coming from it - I have plenty of puppets that had 40+ bank on them that is no longer represented by the data or retrievable. I have an interesting proposal to address this using the trades data:
1. Find all nations that have gifted a legendary to another nation.
2. For each legendary gifted (max 3), grant a certain amount (5, perhaps) of bank to that puppet. There are a few outlier nations that may stand to gain extra here, but pulling a legendary on average represents a certain amount of other cards that were pulled and likely junked. The actual number can be calculated using rarity odds.
I can confirm I would happy with this solution, its not perfect it won't reconstruct all our perfect decks. but its way better then anything proposed
