what i believe is that this pre-sale is not for new users at all
if you are a whale you get benefits....if you are not there is not reason to be part of this...
just wait for the official sale to start
obviously you are a whale ,so there are many benefits for you
i think keeping your vouchers and buy the bulk when pre-sale reaching the end is what i would have done
i wish you good luck and i think i have an offer for you....but it is too early for this offer, we'll see how it goes and i'll keep you updated
I also thought the presale wasn't newbie freindly but @aussieninja makes a good point. If there wasn't some sort of system in place to slow presale pack sales the whales of Splinterlands would of bought up all the presale packs in a flash. I have mixed feelings about the vouchers. On one hand its a great new revenue stream on the other hand its another avenue in which most will need to spend on if they want CL boosters. Asking newbies to pay $10 for the game then $4 for packs and then $X for vouchers is a bit much.
Sure thing, I'm all ears.

Honestly, I think the pre-sale is mostly for new players. If there was no voucher system then whales would go and buy up all the packs before anyone else has a chance to... this voucher system means that most players will have an opportunity to buy packs during the pre-sale
a new player will never manage to get one whole voucher....
he or she has to go buy it....so a pack worth $4....a voucher $5 according to what they say, we dont know yet
so a new player needs approximately $9 to buy a pack on pre-sale
please explain me how this is newbie-friendly....
The vouchers are fractional... so it might take a couple of days (or maybe the full month) to acquire whole vouchers.
However, a newbie doesn't have to buy during the presale... they can by the packs for $4 after the presale and they can sell the vouchers (or fractions of vouchers) they receive for free.
It's mainly newbie friendly because everyone has a chance now... instead of just the whales buying up all the presale packs in the 1st day.
exactly that is why i said the pre-sale is not newbie-friendly
you said again that the whales can go in and buy everything..
let me tell you how i see the whole thing
$4 per pack....1.000.000 packs....gives us 4.000.000 dollars....
i'm not so sure there are so many whales which can consume all this load of packs and pay from their pockets 4.000.000 dollars just like this
make no mistake and please take under consideration that the pre-sale....only the pre-sale is 1.000.000 packs...the whole UNTAMED edition was 1.500.000 packs and was sold out after a long time
definitely we are living different times now than the ones when UNTAMED was released but again i don't believe the whales can create such a 'wave' which can consume in a blink of an eye the whole pre-sale
anyway this is my opinion and that is the reason ,most probably i won't take part in the pre-sale..
in a first look it seems it protects newbies...but if you dig deeper you will see that it is in the whales favor again....
the whales will get the vast majority of vouchers in no time, and you know what?....they will sell the vouchers they dont need to the poor newbies ...
just consider me grumbler...thats all
I totally understand what you're saying... and I guess we'll have to wait and see how it pans out.
If you don't participate in the presale, then you'll get vouchers for free for your staked SPS that you can then sell to the whales early... hopefully you'll make some money that you can spend on packs after presale... effectively getting booster packs for free.
i'm thinking this way the truth is
but as you said we have to wait and see how it goes
