The point is that the average player is most likely not playing more than 30 battles a day, or they aren't going over the battle amount that regenerates in 24 hours.
With that being said, if you are a typical player, you are probably no where near 50% ECR so this shouldn't affect you. If it does, it should make you reconsider your battle strategy as dropping your ECR that low makes earning Reward Shares very inefficient.
Well, I just stated that the maths is not correct or at least misleading (because "60-70 battles in a day" won't be possible while staying above 50 % ECR). That's nothing dramatic, but I wanted to point it out.
I personally don't care so much anyway about optimizing my ranked rewards and ECR. I focus on tournaments and simply have no time to play more than 30 games per day (just sometimes if my wife plays, too, with my account, that might happen).
So if at all the new ECR formula is beneficial for me.
This is not the point.
The point is that the splinterlands-team should publish correct information. And what they told with 60-70 battles a day is NOT correct or you have any doubt ?
I can show you what is the maximum amount of battles you can play in a day:
If you start at ECR 50% and play one battle you are at 49.5% and should wait till ECR reach again 50%, this takes 30 minutes, so you can play a maximum of two battles in one hour or a maximum of 48 battles a day.
For a human player this 48 battles is only theoretical cause he would need to play all arround the clock every 30 minutes, so when you play once a day you can only play approximately 40 battles.
Why the splinterlands-team do no correction ?
Why they don't tell that their calculation was not correct ?
The text reads that you would need to play 60-70 battles in a day to reach 50% ECR (with the obvious assumption that you start at 100%). There is no text stating that this is supposed to be 60-70 battles every day as that is pretty obvious that would take you way below 50% for the whole season.
Again, the point is that most players aren't even close to 50% ECR in general so this change shouldn't affect them. What is being discussed here is completely irrelevant to what the team was actually trying to address.
Please read carefully the full text:
"Most players won't be affected by this change as to get below 50% you would need to play around 60-70 battles in a day"
Where stand that you start by 100% ? I cannot found this.
If you play 60-70 battles a day you will be affected latest at the second day.
I think really that nobody understand this sentence in this way you (want) understand him.
Why you cannot just say: "Ok this was not correct - we will publish a correction / clarification" ?
