Broken Logs in 2021.8.0.3855
Since 2021.8.0.3855 update many things 3rd party devs rely on in log is gone.
The most painful endpoints we currently miss are:
*PlayerInventory.GetPlayerInventory
*PlayerInventory.GetPlayerCardsV3
*PlayerInventory.CrackBoostersV3
*Inventory.Updated
*Draft related endpoints
We understand that seemingly your backend undergone refactoring and there's no more remote procedure PlayerInventory, but there's definitely it's analogue, and please make it write data to the log.
To summarize, we need following data from log:
* Player's collection
* Player's actions in Draft
* Player's inventory updates
* Players decks WITH DECK STRUCTURE (not like now, only names and some diagnostic data).

Please restore this functionality! It was the only way to export my collection from mtg arena.

I can't believe features were taken away from the game and never fixed or communicated as to why! At the very least give an in-game option to export your entire collection for the user to do their own analysis around if you won't add log functionality back.

I refuse to spend any more money on this game until this bug is fixed. This is insane that we cant have access to a log of our own collection for personal tracking purposes.

At some point, you have to accept that the debug logs became the de facto API for MTG Arena, and bring this functionality back somehow. Inventory management is the essential part of any MTG experience, card or digital.

Communication is key and WotC is not communicating with it's customers on this issue. Zero response is unacceptable yet that is what MTGA players are getting when it comes to this issue.

I've stopped spending money on Arena since this broke. That fact that it still isn't fixed is pretty much a joke.

We need a way to export our collections. If you don't want third parties to do it, please add this to the game.

I hope I'm not overstepping, and this reply only works if it's possible for you to edit your original feedback post, but I took the liberty of polishing up the presentation a bit --- it's been months with no reply, who knows? Maybe they're grammar snobs ;)
Revised Draft begins ---
Since the 2021.8.0.3855 update to MTG Arena, access to much of the data relied upon by third-party developers was revoked. We understand that this was a (hopefully) unintentional result of the refactor of your backend that removed the remote procedure PlayerInventory, through which much of this data was exposed.
Losing access to this data has already broken many popular third-party MTG Arena services; greatly restricted the range of features third-party developers can offer to players; and significantly harmed the community's access to add-ons that many consider an essential part of their Arena experience.
Of these missing features, the following are the most debilitating:
● PlayerInventory.GetPlayerInventory
● PlayerInventory.GetPlayerCardsV3
● PlayerInventory.CrackBoostersV3
● Inventory.Updated
● ... as well as endpoints related to DraftBy restoring PlayerInventory or by some other means, please make the following data available and written to the log:
● Player card collection
● a record of Player's actions in Draft
● updates to Player's inventory
● deck data with the previous level of detail, particularly of deck structure (currently, only names and trivial diagnostic data is provided)If this restriction of data was accidental, we don't understand why it hasn't been remedied in the months since this was brought to your attention; if this restriction was deliberate, we don't understand why you haven't reached out to your third-party developers to explain the necessity of a change with such negative impact; if reaching out isn't possible for some business, legal, media, property or other reason, we don't understand why you haven't told us at least that much.
Please and thank you,
- Third-Party Developers for MTG Arena

I wish they will fix this bug soon, so we can export our collection.

OMG this bug has been here for 4 months and haven't been addressed yet? I'm afraid that's intentional then :(

I just came back to this game for the first time in 3 years and this change makes it worse than 3 years ago...

We have neither official nor unofficial way to track our collection since two months. This is a big issue.
