It should go without saying that I think this ban of @mtghofbot is complete nonsense and my already low faith in Wizards and OP is at rock bottom, but there are so many other things about this situation that I find extremely irritating
It irritates me how silent the MPL is about pretty much any situation in which non-MPL (and non-Rivals? idk) players might receive any kind of benefit or assistance. I get that it& #39;s not personal and they can& #39;t be blamed individually, it& #39;s in their contract to not be critical
It just speaks to how shady that contract is in the first place. To me it contributes to this overall vibe I get that Wizards is taking a lot more control over shaping how they want to present their competitive systems. Heaven forbid someone they don& #39;t like wins at their game
Austin& #39;s stream https://www.twitch.tv/PercsAlert ">https://www.twitch.tv/PercsAler... just now was the first I heard about Wizards offering medals (literal physical medals) to him, @nalkpas, @PeteIngramMTG, and @stainerson and I think that shit is so hilarious.
I can think of a dozen things, that would probably cost Wizards ~0, that I would appreciate a lot more than a fucking medal for coming close in a season, failing and having it cut short.
I hate how face up it is that Wizards doesn& #39;t give an ounce of a shit about anyone that doesn& #39;t contribute to their bottom line. If you don& #39;t buy their cards (the player base at large) or promote their game (MPL/superstars), you are nothing. Fuck everyone in the middle, right?
I had a pretty solid career that I& #39;m proud of and not once did I ever feel like I had a single shred of influence about the game. Fine, whatever, no big deal. But this ban sends me the message that, even if I did, if Wizards didn& #39;t like it then I could be punished with a ban
