For the record, a LOT has changed since this original proposal failed 7 months ago:
- CL packs are sold out - they could be bought with DEC and there was a credit option since SPL would facilitate the DEC conversion. Credits and DEC are simply less intimidating for new users.
- at the time, DEC was trading around $0.00055 and large number of the vocal objecters were actually okay with the idea if DEC value were approximately equal - lots of people suggested pricing at 8000 DEC, etc. So I think many of the objections had to do with the perceived discount on packs
- we have lots more details re: Land and it will be happening SOON - possibly around the same time that we would be ready to implement a proposal like this
- we have eliminated other major sources of DEC printing, like LPs
- other items have been successfully repriced to DEC (blood and power stones)
- the community has more confidence that a wider variety of DEC burn sources are coming: (starter packages and buildings for land, guilds) and the flywheel seems more within reach
While a change to the whitepaper is always significant, I think the potential for negative consequences has mostly passed, while the perceived positives from pricing in DEC are still waiting. If we launched a new edition or mini-set, I'm pretty sure the overwhelming majority of our community would agree that pricing in DEC would be the way to go. Pricing in a constant token price is simple and user-friendly, it allows use of credits (aka new money). I would urge you to reconsider whether circumstances have changed enough and whether the benefits of having a simpler system and consolidating most in-game shopping around a single token outweighs that?
