@WC: That makes no sense. You're gated by orbs, awakening arcanas, and DC that generally can't be bought (assuming that the +80 DC is a one-time thing). Even assuming that there's actually enough people willing to spend $10,000 at the drop of a hat to make up for the losses from the muh more numerous $1,000 or less people discouraged from point cards, there's literally no way for anyone to just cash in and buy an advanced-capable team, let alone four.

Archwitch +point cards are supposed to be an incentive, but point cards are most effective at beginner mode. If you make beginner mode completely unviable, you discourage people to buy point cards to rank, plain and simple. That's less money for MyNet - which is why this move (and their whole overboosting of advanced mode) is so confusing to me.

I don't see how you can argue that the almost non-existant category of people that can be persuaded to drop $10,000 once on a game for nothing can make up for all the people that stop shelling out $400 regularly on point cards that will no longer do so now that they are no longer useful for ranking.
