RE: Splinterlands Town Hall Summary - May 15th, 2023!

in Splinterlandslast year

This has to be a joke. Almost half a million SPS for champion 1? I have been reaching champion 1 and 2 for several seasons and I "only" have 30k SPS. I own max level cards and I can now only play in gold? Are you trying to ruin the game?

Sort:  

These SPS numbers are ridiculous. One needs to pay $1282 USD at SPS price right now to get max rewards for Gold I. Maybe there should be an ascending scale overtime where the SPS requirements increase to stay in leagues. But start it a bit lower, and then have a max cap where it doesn't increase anymore. It would give an incentive to always stake your SPS instead of selling it.

To put it bluntly that sort of is how it is going to work.

This whole situation is actually a bit misleading and the team is terrible at optics. These are not true SPS requirements in the way that CP has league requirements. As of right now, you either have the CP to play in a league or you don't. This new system gets rid of that reality and will let you play in whatever league your rating will get you to. In exchange, your reward % will be lowered based on the SPS you have staked vs the SPS goal of that league but that doesn't mean the raw reward you actually earn is lower too. for example if the league has a 10k SPS target and you only have 7k SPS you'll get 70% of the baseline now but you'll still be able to play in that league.

To put it bluntly we will all likely end up with around the same amount of rewards. The reason why I think we all end up basically the same is that this hits all of us in the same way which means that all of us will no longer be hitting 100% of the baseline amount of reward per battle. This ultimately means that the baseline will go up to compensate for the fact the daily pool isn't being drained at the same rate.

The total amount of SPS in the daily pool isn't changing here so if the same number of people ultimately play in Diamond 1 after this change as before, those same people are going to be the ones ultimately splitting the Diamond 1 daily SPS pool and the % of base reward doesn't matter anyways.

On the flip side, if you currently play in a league that has an SPS target of 10k but have 15k staked, you are now earning 150% of the baseline. All of this will balance out. It is just hard to think about given it is in terms of % and people like to think about raw end rewards and think oh now I'm only going to make x% when in reality that won't be true.

Perfectly explained!

If this is the case then that won't be too bad. The team is then just really bad at properly explaining their ideas. 😁

If your explanation turns to be what actually happens where CP don't limit up to which league you can play then it will be almost the same like Beta days where skill could take you to higher leagues with your cards. If this means that bots with no SPS staked can't drain the reward pools too much then it's not too bad.

Thanks for this. I'm glad it's not like CP requirements. It seemed like it was going that route. The way you explained doesn't seem bad.

The developers are starting to loose the plot. I can't see most of the casual players, that have families to look after and also spend time with love ones really having much more than 10k to 30k SPS. This makes up probably over 60% - 70% of the actual human player base that will have too less SPS for these ridiculous figures.

All this crap changes that piss off actual players and investors instead of sorting out the real problem which is bots.

I am really starting to wonder how many of the bots farms are being run be the dev team themselves. Only reason why they so hesitant to deal with the issue.

SPS delegation opens a new market. This is good for everyone.

For now from staked sps top hodlers only like ~200 players meets the requirements to play in champion I and I see that there are players like byz, who have sps and not have cards for champion so basically even less players, if we include only investors, which hodl token and not play.

I have Champion SPS and I play Gold 1. Im happy to delegate my SPS.

If you're offering a delegation, I could use 50k for gold 1. I've been stacking SPS over the past several months with a goal to reach 10k before this stuff gets implemented. I'm almost at 7k now and I may still hit my original goal, but that's not going to get me full rewards in gold 1.

Im happy to delegate it when the market for delegations opens. Thats what I was talking about in my other comments.

Oh man, that's good to know, if you can help me I appreciate it, I need 11k to continue in silver 1.

You had better buy SPS then lol

Do you honestly believe people will actually do that? Most players will look at this and either do nothing or even sell some assets or just sell everything. Almost no one will be like "oh sure a new crazy requirement, how nice! Let me spend $1k in SPS".

I would vote raise the sps requirements by at least double hahaha

I play in champion with owned cards. I have been playing for over a year and a half. I have never sold SPS and even bought some. I still "only" have 30k SPS. These requirements are absurd.

Asinine indeed.

Only 30k sps!? Damn, you better get some more than or you can rent from me 😆

also playing since over a year now, staked every SPS i got investet soon $ 10k in the game lots of maxed cards playing gold / diamond and have only 13K SPS staked now i should have over 100k staked .... really not cool now i have to invest more then $ 2k again to get the rewards i get now but no money left to invest in the game ... this really sucks
