Hello. Firstly, I think you guys do an incredible job catering to the users, and updating the game with relevant features. So thanks for that. I was mildly upset about losing my subscription, but I understand that the business model changed, and was ok with it (I'd still like the free half year subscription though :) )
Here are my thoughts on the proposed changes:
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
I don't care about this at all. The fun for me is competing with others
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
It could be cool, but I see this as low priority - Happy if it happens, but really don't care if it never gets done.
3. A strong bot.
That would be very impressive, but still low in priority
4. Options for timed games
I like this idea a lot.
5. Options for undo settings
I prefer the current, unalterable undo settings
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I like this but, could live without it.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Convenient, but not crucial.
8. More translations (to what language?)
I only speak English so this one has no effect on me.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I'd much prefer you DIDN'T do this. One of the reasons I like your site so much is that you don't focus on non-gameplay related nonsense.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Yes, please. I would consider this a bug now, as I may not remember what the bottom of a split pile is and have no on-site method of obtaining that info.
10. Option to hide the log
I've learned to love the log, so meh.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
I think I'll ever play on my phone.
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
I think I'll ever play on my phone (and I don't have an iPhone).
13. Downloadable game logs
I'm not that intense, so I don't care about this.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Yes! The blacklist button helped a lot, though.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
I already know how to play, so this doesn't affect me.

A few things I would like to see:
- Moving all gameplay decision making away from the log. Right now, you have to look at the log to do things like play your teacher, which is a bit of a nuisance (especially if you have scrolled up on the log).
- Easier card reordering. With cards like cartographer and sentry, it always takes me several attepmts to reorder the cards correctly (the UI is a bit wonky).
- A fix for the discard pile bug. When you the other player discards some of your cards, the wrong card shows up for an instant at the top of your discard pile.
- A more robust way to navigate the leaderboard.
- The autoscrolling for the log turns off every once in a while and refuses to go back on. A fix for this would be nice
Thank you for creating a great website!
