First, I'm very glad that you took the time to write your thoughts Mavis, interaction is great to understand other people's point of view. So thank you for the 2 messages :)

Re: your point #1, I think it might be how you are suggesting, but I'm not sure. My understanding is that you will rent for the remaining days of each season. So if that is 14 days or 3 days left, then you rent only for the days left. If I read your solution wrong, then please let me know.

Re: your point #2, I do believe (and hope) that the end of the season is the end of each rental cycle. So people can re-renew, wait, etc. I will personally just rent out everything on the first day and then not think about it til the following season. I'm not sure I understand about your point about the adjustment of the price to be favorable, but like I said IMO the goal should be for both sides to have a easy experience by just renting out/for one time per season.

On the tourney issue, I'm not sure that would work but I haven't really thought of that issue.

On your personal story, I realize this will be a big change to not only you, but to everyone that primarily rents. However this will all change a lot anyways with the new upcoming set, so figuring out how to make it work is important. I'm personally glad we can see how this works now, so that we can make adjustments if the results are negative and it needs to be tweaked.

Also if you want, I'm happy to help you earn some extra SPS that you can cover some of that extra costs you are incurring. I have some accounts that are going unplayed right now, and I am letting people play them and keep all the SPS they earn by doing so. These accounts are not top level accounts, but if you are an experienced player then you should be able to earn roughly 2 SPS per win. If you are interested, then message me on Discord and I'll get you set up.

Again thank you for the nice message and for taking the time to give some thoughts and suggestions, I appreciate it Mavis!
