RE: Splinterlands: Soul Bound Reward Cards

in LeoFinancelast year

so our premiums will be worth less, which will cause people to rent less. so we make less in the rental market and our premiums are also worth less. to me, this looks like a loose/lose situation.....
to this you have to say reward cards already bring hardly any money when renting. but it has an advantage, because so dec comes from bots to real people and a fee of 5% disappear by this also!
if you can't sell and rent the cards now. many people will start to burn these cards. so dec will be printed again, and that's something we don't need at all we want dec to peg!

Why do you want to install a new declination machine? 😒
also, if the cards are not purchasable and rentable, you have to rely on luck, for example i play with 3 accounts, since the release of the reward cards every day and i haven't received a single countess sinash yet! and even if i would get one, i couldn't use it because i would get too much minus reward in the gold league if i use a 1bcx card there oO

I do not see how it should help against bots, but honestly it pisses me off also for a long time that the team at all proposals that are basically crap the argument bots advances. because you know you can wrap people around the finger because almost all are against bots. but unfortunately this is just a deception. because the team is not against bots. not only that they do not ban bots, no they now even advertise in the splinterlands game a page where you can order a bot!!!!!!!

Burning cards is something that is encouraged in this game as it creates scarcity which the game is centered around. In most cases (just like packs) their value comes after being out of print and/or a large amount is burned.

They likely can't ban bots or multi account holders because they encourage such play early on. I and others cautioned not to allow bots but ultimately the anti bot crew lost that battle. Now we see the issues that are arising in which the anti-bot crew warned about. Getting big companies to sponsor games and getting the general masses to enter the game requires one account per person. The general public do not like bots or multi-accounting. Example. If a big company put up $1000 in a Splinterlands game they want to make sure each pay spots goes to an individual person. This is because they want each of those people talking about their brand. They don't want Ten people/bots with multiple accounts earning multiple pay-spots as that gives them less bang for their buck. As for how it hurts bots, I went over one reason in my post. It hurts their ROI. The change also stops bots/ large multi account holders from earning and dumping on market. I'm not a big fan of the potential change but I do see the logic and reasoning behind it.

in what way does this apply to soulbound reward cards? these would only print dec but not increase card value, as these cards would no longer have any value because they cannot be sold, cannot be rented, but can only be burned ;)

splinterlands promotes splex on the hompage and splex is partner of archmage bot. so the splex hompage inevitably leads to the bot. so splinterlands promotes a bot. so i don't know how much faith you can give the team when they act like they want to do something against bots!

Scarcity will still bring value. You assume everyone will burn cards. Some will, others will opt to hold them in an account and sell the full account with full sets of Soul Bound cards attached to said account. If the Soul Bound cards in said account have high play value and/or are scarce because many are already burned its likely such an account would be more valuable than an account without such things.

i don't know if a company should calculate with account sales, because this is not a serious business if you don't know what the seller does with the keys

Keys can be changed by the purchaser before sending funds.

Use an intermediate like one should do in any private sale.
