I really like the new platform. Really really. It's a little annoying that I can't just play it on other computers if I want, but I've been able to get around it. Seeking is great, one-page-kingdom is great, being able to bypass VP tokens to get Promo cards was fantastic. I even like how it shows you the empty piles when the game's over. The only problem I've had is that once, little cards just randomly appeared on the left side of the screen, covering my opponent's avatar. But that's so, so small.

I guess new players and player acquisition are probably least negatively affected by the poor matchmaking, since the skill distribution is probably bottom heavy?

I introduced a new player to Dominion but they quit after auto-match kept matching them up with people playing OP legendaries like Taxman and Rogue.

I think I would amend / disagree with AdamH's statement there. Playing players who are slightly to moderately better than you is the best way to get better at the game. Playing players who are much better than you is not. If a player is much better than you, then he may be playing on a level that you can't simply copy and learn from.

It's so weird to me that there is a reddit Dominion page.  Don't they know about the forum?

(Yeah, I hate Reddit for its format.)

Just got matched against someone who opened Worker's Village/Silver on a Rebuild board... then used his first $5 on a Bandit Camp.

I mean, I'm not a great player, but how?  How??

Dedicated forums are one of the dinosaurs of social media; a lot of people these days prefer to stick to a universal site like reddit, twitter, or 4chan where they don't need to get new logins and such. It's a fascinating subject.

For niche things, like deckbuilders, forums tend to be more knowledgeable and in-the-loop than reddit.

Being a part of such a great online community can't be undervalued. I mean, that's my first one, and may as well be the last one too. Love you all, whiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!
