Quantius said: The issue with that is that is gives the devs a "get out of jail free" card. It's a bandaid that absolves them of improving things and just gives them a tool for future broken cards and no incentive to not create broken cards.

Is that really a bad outcome?

Is that really a bad outcome? Potentially. If that became their default option when something broke we could just keep losing stuff. But their default option is already to publish broken stuff. And that hasn't seemed to be be on a track to change despite our voluminous complaints for a very long time. So it's not really a shift from the status quo if they keep putting out broken stuff. The only change in the scenario above is that we actually get some form of remediation compared to now, where we get nothing but broken cards to sit around in our collection, to pull as dupes from packs, and to basically waste our time.
Theophilus said: I think the problem with the poll is that the first option is clearly what SHOULD be done, but at this point it seems fairly certain that it isn's going to happen. In light of that, I wouldn't mind some sort of cull with some sort of equivalent non-dupe/orb compensation.
