Ah you're right. I just assumed it was L-M version. No one ever asks me for E-M lol =P

To be honest this might not even stop the "boosters" from doing what they do, I've seen cheaters publicly flex their bans on reddit so I'm not placing the ethic of these people too high.

How does showing replays change boosting? Boosters will still either insta quit or just played intentionally lost matches. Fundamental issue is that arena lacks many players at any given time, which allows boosting to occur.
Additionally, replays won't help much - then you're going to start accusing insta quitters who have an easy loss of boosting. As the #1 player who gets insta quit against, you'll see how many "boosters" I have for example. To play more devil's advocate, if someone wanted to look "legit" for this - they would just play a counter that loses against the main account, thereby justifying an insta quit. These days most boosters boost a little here and there, so I don't think it'll be as easy to detect as you might think. 
And to play devil's advocate more - everyone in top ranks knows who manipulates arena hardest and their style of it. This isn't an individual players issue; more of a clan issue imo. You talk of solo medals but completely forget about clan medals - who you can argue get hit more often and consistently by boosted clan results. 
Thankfully with the most recent ban wave, I think boosting will calm down, but time will tell...And to give some perspective, boosting affects maybe 0.0001% of SM players.
TLDR: Boosting isn't a big issue. But the fix (if we wanted to pursue) would be to increase # of players in arena, not replays.

Thank you for not cheating, but we do not give get out of jail free cards, that simple. I assure you those who actually work with Gato and talk to us before/during/after cheating don’t end up with their account perm’d over it (though if they didn’t follow instructions properly, sometimes they’re inadvertently caught anyway, if we can find there’s no foul play, we just unban then). We can’t show leniency to people because they were apparently helpful to people who we don’t know and simply lost hope. 
 
I get losing hope, I appreciate people helping. But a lot of people have been helping the game for years and a lot of them despite how bad things got, refrained from cheating. They are the ones who kept the game playable despite the rampant cheats available. Is the message to them really, “You should have just cheated, we’d have understood”? 
 
 
Please note accusing people on these forums is against the rules folks. That Jesper decided to air himself here is his choice, but it doesn’t entitle others to turn this into an accusation thread. Additionally, “I think n once cheated so Y shouldnt be banned for cheating!” Is nihilistic argumentation that would only lead to a full breakdown of the game...

Deleting alts isn't really an option and would be horrible for SM business. As people who care about pixels tend to be bigger spenders and have large community presence. 
And evening tracking who owns what account is near impossible (ie. how do you know someone owns it vs. co-pilots it vs. someone played then quit and gave it away). Then you add in VPNs, shared accounts, etc - and it's a real mess to figure out who's boosting who. At best, it would be an incredible manual task for Gato and super controversial. At worst, you just killed the top player base and lost revenue and morale in game. From a business mgmt perspective, it's not worth imo.
But like you said, there's maybe 15 people in the game who actually care about boosting (I personally used to, but realized it's not worth it). We have bigger fish to catch (exploiters are the priority for me, for example, along with balance changes).

Hi, Happy new year.
Hmm, not that many L-M. I have maybe 280 or so between them and the rest epics good parts that I use for legend transformation when have extra not in need but with 545 in room space always full. I keep them for the transformation but for test and configuration possibilities plus future weapons to be use and since I do not know how many I will be interested in to use and I do not know when I can get them back so I keep a healthy stash of every kind for a 3 mech set generally speaking. 
Yes, I farm 24/7 basically. By the time I go to bed and move away of bed it is just 4 hrs so before go to bed I drain all energy and when I am up start to farm to keep energy bars at zero keeping regen without stop. Just the recent month I had to slow down some days losing at list one collection time due to lot of work from job so I have to skip some times unable to farm as before. The pvp of course it is affected but trying to keep up for the team. They work hard so I have to do my part as best I can. Sadly today I wanted to do some more pvp but arena connection wasn't working for me till just recently but ready to go to bed and in few hrs go to work. 
I have been less in the FORUM. One reason it is been lack of time to read as before and make comments and the other the current format it is not that appealing searching, back and forward etc so gets annoying to try to read and search. It does feel not as much community but more like post and go. No much interaction. Sure less drama 🤣 . 
Tones of videos to watch but unable recently. I need some beer, jerky, cheese, crackers, olive or maybe some DAK salami and some time to enjoy the game youtuber and write a few comments. 🙃

1) How would you know who is boosting vs. an innocent player quitting? (How would you tell if someone intentionally threw a match vs played it out legit?)
2) Replays disappear over time / sometimes don't show up at all. How would you track that? What about someone who boosts 1 in every 10 matches between a few accounts? Or the dedicated booster who plays friendly non-ranked 1v1s to clear replay history?
3) Don't you think an "ethical" player will just claim these accounts aren't his/hers? Basically claim that they are people he/she plays against (there's really not many top players...) and know they will lose, so they quit? 
4) To troll an enemy clan, you can just always insta quit against them and accuse them of boosting and ruin their reputation...What's your fix for that? Many people know they will lose matches before turn 1, so this way they can punish enemies lol...?

Sounds like FOAT to me xD (speaking of - I think I will let someone else run the tourny this year)

Actually I just felt like replying, it's 3AM here. 😛
If someone seems to be thinking with us and optimistic, it's enjoyable for me to give them a bit of insight, so I don't mind doing it in my own time then 😃
 
It's different when someone asks for the umpteenth time where trading is!
 
Hope you'll stay on this journey with us.
