I've been grinding it out for a while now trying to get this millionaire card. I'm close now. Just got to level 49 and picked up some more Starbits off the market to get me to 1 million. 2300 more XP and I'm there.
While I feel like I've made a good amount of Starbits by doing missions and staking on records, I'd say its most likely true that most of the starbits I have came from buying it on the market directly.
Accumulating starbits in any great quantity seems a little challenging in game and this is what makes the millionaire card so alluring.
What is the millionaire card?
Once you reach level 50 in Rising Star and you have accumulated 1,000,000 starbits that you hold on hive engine, you get the millionaire card.
As long as you hold tight to those million starbits on HE and have this card, you have access to a special mission you can do once every 24 hours that pays 10,000 starbits.
That means you could double that million starbits every 100 days with that one half hour mission alone.
Another way to look at it is you get 2.5-3 hive worth of starbits each day by clicking a button. That's a pretty special. Plus you still have time to do plenty of other missions.
So it makes sense that after grinding for the last few months to get this card, like two weeks before I'm eligible the are going to change the game right?
The millionaire card will have the same rewards and all that, but now there are a few more qualifications for being able to do the mission once you have the card.
Basically, the more times you run the mission, the more "fans" you need if you want to run it more. This means you better be spending on some cards, else the goose runs out of golden eggs.
But that's not all.
There's also a starpro qualification. Starpro is the much more expensive cousin to the starbits currency. Luckily you only need a little bit of it per time you run the mission but its definitely going to cut into those profits.
So, what are my thoughts on these changes?
I fully agree with them.
The card is overpowered. Many people just buy their way to 1 million starbits and then sell everything they get for the next 100 days from the mission and then they've put nothing into the game at all and can just farm it for rewards.
As we're seeing with Splinterlands right now, that is something the devs should be very weary of and its good that they are.
Basically what the changes do is it keeps this incredible overpowered benefit alive for those who've grinded their way to level 50 and bought or made and kept 1 million starbits, but instead of giving you starbits, it demands that you keep these incredible rewards in more valuable game assets like cards and the much more scarce starpro.
As a collector of NFT's playing a game where I get to collect NFT's, this makes sense to me. They are basically handing me the cash to buy more NFT's every day which helps all my other missions. As long as I decide I want those free NFT's, they'll keep giving them to me.
Just run the mission, go buy some cards and starpro. Watch them grow in value while the rest of the game grows faster for you do to your new cards. You're welcome.
Another way to look at it is that players who get the most rewards from the game will store that value in their cards.
That is a much healthier way to build an ecosystem. One that puts the assets first.
This also lowers the selling pressure on starbits from millionaire card holders who sell everything, while it creates buying pressure on cards and starpro.
Do I wish I'd gotten a few months to farm the game a bit before they made this change? Sure. But I'm not going to cry about it because they just made every asset in the game, including the many I'm holding, more valuable.
And because some people didn't like these changes, several people rushed to the market to sell their million starbits when the news of the pending changes came out. And that gave me the sale I needed to get myself to 1 million.
Look at that, Risingstar just lost farmers and gained collectors. And that's how you build a more valuable ecosystem.

I'm a little bumbed because I have only had the card for 3 weeks. I qualified months ago but I didn't even realize. I'm ok with the changes because I will grind it out.
I didn't realize you needed starpro though. I thought that was just if you wanted the 10% bonus on the mission.

I could have gotten the starpro part wrong. I didn't fully understand it when i read that part of the announcement even though I read it a few times.
