any idea of what the hp requirements for next season are?

Ahh, this part is tricky. I’ve received some feedback that’s made me think twice. I’m not sure if I’ll actually implement this mission, so I think I’ll actually consider some other alternatives. Linking HP to points for a ranking doesn’t seem fair to a lot of people, and I understand that. I don’t want to do something that will upset the majority.

One thing I’ve noticed about the culture here on Hive is that people tend to be more motivated to take action when there’s an incentive involved. Without one, there will naturally be different opinions on whether something is worth doing.

Ultimately, though, it comes down to the direction HiveGrove wants to take. I believe both the OG community and newcomers will eventually get behind whatever changes are implemented.

coming from dcity where curation rewards were literally the only thing keeping the community together I assure you this will be waaaaay better for the game and the community especially smaller accounts who will be forced to engage in campfire to "earn" instead of competing for leaderboard prizepool rewards

Now that you mention it, I think I agree with you, mate. Players outside the Top 20 may have less incentive to participate in Campfire chats unless they see some rewards for their engagement.

Although CommentRewarder is already there, some players might not even realize they're earning rewards until they receive them seven days later.

But imagine getting a PeakD notification showing that your Campfire comment received a $0.02 upvote. Even a small reward like that could motivate them.

It takes nearly 200 HIVE to even be competitive on the leaderboard. A new player can't magically compete with five years of accumulated resources. What they can compete with is effort. If delegated HP increases rewards for campfire participation, content creation, and community engagement, then active newcomers gain a path to compete that doesn't require already being a whale.

That's a good point, mate! New players can't compete with years of accumulated resources overnight, but they can contribute through effort and engagement. I like the idea of using delegated HP to reward genuine Campfire participation. It could give newcomers a reason to stay active while helping HiveGrove grow!
