Decoding the Buzz: What's up with CROP Token Changes in Gaming?

[ruben123]

Hey dCrops community! So, there's this big talk about changes in the CROP token pricing for our favorite game dCrops. The game devs shared their side, but let's dive into what the flip side of these changes is to get the full picture.

1. Token Confusion:
   Some folks are side-eyeing the idea of using a 30-day average for CROP token prices. They're saying it might not really show what the tokens are worth right now, leading to prices that could be too high or low for what we think is fair. They're throwing out the idea of using a longer average to keep things steady.

2. Bye-Bye Soft Peg:
   You know that thing where 1000 CROP tokens = $1? Well, they're thinking of tossing that out. People are worried it could make prices jump around like crazy, making it tough for us to plan our buys and game investments. It's like, how can we strategize when the prices are doing the cha-cha?

3. Quick Snapshots and Token Value:
   Now, they're using these quick snapshots from the money pool every 30 seconds to figure out the average price. Some aren't buying it, though. They're saying the market changes so fast that this quick snapshot thing might miss the real deal changes in the token's worth.

4. Wallet Woes:
   If you wanna grab those reward chests, you gotta keep CROP tokens in your in-game wallet. Some peeps are waving the red flag, saying this could make it tough for new players who don't have those tokens. I'm like, why block the entry for newbies?

5. Why the Change?:
   The big question is why they're shaking up the pricing. Without the deets, players are scratching their heads, wondering if it's all about us or more about the devs. We just want to know what's the deal, right?

6. Secret Pricing Sauce:
   No one's talking about how they calculate the average price or why they picked that method. I'm side-eyeing this lack of info, i'm not worried about it not being fair play. But the amount of changes is large and the explanation minimal so someone then needs to inform people about the unexplained parts to let them make a decision on their own.

Conclusion:
So, there you have it – the lowdown on what some gamers are saying about the CROP token changes. It's a mix of worries about fairness, transparency, and getting our money's worth. As we roll with the changes, it's essential to keep the conversation going and make sure our gaming world stays fair and fun for everyone. 🎮✌️

Kind of a weird take but I'll answer your questions.

1. A longer average may be used if 30 days don't seem to be enough time. We're taking average values because that makes it harder to manipulate the price by making big buy/sell actions.
2. Getting rid of the softpeg would mean price don't need to be constrained. This will allow the price to go higher thus increasing the value of the season reward pool.
3. 30 second snapshots should be plenty frequent in my opinion but similar to [1] it may be changed if needed.
4. Holding CROP tokens is not the only way to get a bigger end of season reward chest. Moreover, this change actually makes it cheaper to buy reward chests from the shop (at the the time of writing when CROP token is at $0.0018.
5. This update aims to provide more utility to CROP tokens by utilizing its market value rather than a static value which may or may not justify the price. For example, BETA packs are currently priced at a flat rate of 3000 CROP tokens but when using HIVE or HBD it is priced at 3USD. So the current pricing in CROP tokens is unfair since 3000 CROP is equal to ~5.4 USD.
6. There's no secret sauce. Every 30 seconds a snapshot happens and all such snapshots in the last 30 days are added up and an average is calculated. As to why has been already explained above.

Thank you a lot for the clarification! I read the article and felt that it was informative but also short. The dCrops game is amazing and this major update gives it the possibilty to flourish even more, yet it might skip over the impact it has on players. So I thought about questions (or notable information) I wanted to give to players of dCrops. I must confess there isn't any reason to suggest there is a secret sauce but since it gives (us both) a good closing statement I used it. Once more I want to thank you for the answers provided to the points I raised and the clarity it provides on the update.
