is there anything planned after the airdrop that rewards holders? i'm afraid that after the airdrop the prices of cards and dec could plummet so there is no incentive to hold more than you need to play 😞

No there are no planned rewards for after the airdrop is over. The airdrop was just an extra reward for all asset owners, it was never a core feature part of the game.

but most of the players came when the airdrop was introduced, or am i misinformed?
the card prices also went up only then, didn't they?
so if i am right, it is very obvious that after the airdrop the prices will collapse

We saw our biggest growth when SPS was introduced, not necessarily the airdrop (even though they were introduced almost at the same time).

Card prices are more correlated to the price of DEC and SPS. If either one of those fall, then card prices normally fall as well. If either one increases, card prices follow the same pattern. I don't think the end of the SPS airdrop will have any effect on card prices as most people are hoarding DEC or other assets in order to maximize their airdrop reward. Holding cards was one of the least efficient ways.

I know that dec was cheaper when it came to the pure airdrop points, but in my opinion, dec was also the greater loss in value to be expected and with cards you could still earn money at the time with rent and play, so I came to the conclusion, dec is indeed at the time of purchase more efficient, but in the end probably not!
i think i'm not the only one who has gone down this train of thought....

I am curious how it will develop!

I saw a problem of deliver on commitment for spl team.

Seems always throw out a big hope to players and keep consuming players patient with endless postpone.

I don't know how other think about this. But for me , it's not good at all and plants a big question to players mind whether Spl team say is trustable.
So people will loss hope and whatever is out ,then it's out.

The team is just being very transparent on what they are working on, and where they are at in the process.

The issue is that people ask for deadlines and since the team is still growing and getting through scalability issues, those deadlines seem to be delayed a bit recently.

However, as the team continues to get more experience under their belt and start meshing better, features and enhancements are going to start flying out the door. Just give us a little more time and I guarantee you that the roadmap items will all be met when stated.

Totally understandable. Their transparency is also appreciated.

However when come to the public communication, whatever timeline they are talking about, people count for it.

So probably any new things they are thinking about, communicate publicly only when they are confident on the timeline they talk about. It will gain a better reputation.

When will the ranked reward changes regarding the starter cards take effect? How much will using a starter card reduce the DEC earned? What's the impact of using a rented card vs. an owned card?

could you give some examples of this "However, anything that impacts the core business will be handled directly by the Splinterlands team?"

I'm just a player, but I read that statement to be things like:

The community can vote for things like :

  • Spending the SPS Fund on marketing
  • Should card X get an extra armor point

Things like :

  • Should there be a new card edition released in 2023

would not be up for a vote because the card editions are how the Splinterlands company makes it's revenue.
