This whole rage machine we have going leading up to something we have no real understanding of makes me think of something from a Dr. Seuss book and the Sneetches with stars upon thars...
Theros said: Reaching platinum should be enough for match making. Using player levels and/number of cards mastered is flawed:Many vets including me stopped mastering cards as soon as platinum level was achieved. Mastering cards only mattered to get platinum rewards.Many vets only play the most optimum decks, so they'll have fewer cards mastered. Therefore it's not unconceivable to have 2 years+ vets below level 80 after this update.The net result is more likely a system that doesn't match vets with equal skills together due to difference in levels.The game is grindy as hell, I'm pretty sure some will not bother mastering cards at all.As someone mentioned above, it's virtually imposible to catch up. Unless high levels stop playing I guess
