I know this is a forum about the digital version, but I don't know where I would talk about this.

I like to play the paper version sometimes too, and I'm always struck by how much better it would be if it were the plastic version. Currently your choices are either sleeving, frequent replacement, or just not playing the game too often. Those are annoying, expensive, and sad, respectively. Plastic cards are pretty good these days. Dominion is the perfect game for a plastic print run. Not only would it not need replacement nearly as often, you get riffle shuffles back when a deck gets fat. Really awkward to do that with sleeves.

I'd pay like $120 for just the base set.

Feature Requests / Druid Boon Selection

I'd like to be able to pick which boons the Druid gets at setup. It's taking me a really long time to get sky, field, and sea.

Feature Requests / Time Is Money

It hasn't happened to me yet, but judging from the forums and some peoples' names, it seems like slow-play griefing is a pretty serious issue. I've thought of a genius fix for that, if the staff are willing to tinker with the business model a bit.

Instead of (or, if you must, in addition to) charging for expansion sets, have a subscription provide a certain amount of rated-game think time per month. Maybe you get 30 minutes or so for free, and if you play the game alot, you get a sub for another 60. But griefers who make one game take 30 minutes are shut down completely unless they want to pay through the nose. Meanwhile, if you aren't playing Very Seriously, and want to just mess around with friends or teach newbies, you can take as long as you want in practice mode.

This solution requires no reporting, no investigation, no banning, just a tweak to what you get for your money, and the problem is instantly gone.

I don't have the game number, as I refreshed the page before it occurred to me to report the bug, sorry.

If you possess somebody (or at least the bot, I haven't played a human here yet) and lose the game immediately afterward, after you get the result screen and press Ready, the previous game will reopen, show you the other player's last turn, and leave you stuck on the game screen unable to play. Pressing Resign brings up the confirmation dialog, but confirming does nothing.
