RE: New Reward Cards & Collection Power Update

in #splinterlands4 years ago

The change has absolutely nothing to do with @j6969 or @tcpolymath. They had both put a lot of money into the game and j6969 was one of the people who pushed for this change, in fact.

It's not about punishing crimes and there are no "innocent" or "wicked" here. It's very simply about having a long-term sustainable system. We were simply giving out too many rewards as compared to the value put in, and that would lead to the game failing.

Sort:  

That’s not what your team member said. He said it in well in advance.

I think you are twisting and misinterpreting what I said.

One flaw/problem/exploit in the system is allowing low level accounts (especially level 1 accounts) to get into Diamond and Champion leagues.

Collection Power will help in this regard, though there will still be workarounds.

Also, the primary goal of Collection Power is to create a sustainable economy by keeping rewards more proportional to the amount of investment put in. Collection Power will impact bots and low level human farmers, but that is not the primary purpose.

How is it a flaw? If people learned how to play instead of buying every card they see in the hopes of shotgunning their way to the top, i wouldn't be in champion 1 with my level 4 summoners! Simple!

What you said was stated very clearly given the context of the conversation.

Backpedaling now is pointless. Clearly enough people here agree with me, even though among those are the ones who are like "oh well, I'm not affected so I don't care"

They'll care when the next update cuts them out from where they deserve to be.

I might be wrong, but they describe it as a pyramid scheme... you will soon be able to reach high leagues only if you paid enough, it's not the talent of the player it's how much he spent...

It's not a game thus, it's a weird investment pyramid scheme when the ones at the top shares the most rewards even if they can't play without a maxed deck.

Also, some explained clearly that instead of buying TONS of cards, they chose wisely which card to boost to be able to win, so they spent, but not enough, thus they will be blocked too, point proven, it's not talent just money power...

And here I am labeled the asshole and told I'm just problematic.

Reminds me of this company called "The Team" whose logo was a pyramid and who described it as an "inverted pyramid."

Today, we still have a fighting chance. I already won against guys with gold legendaries level 3 with only l1 legendaries. But even this is not tolerated anymore...

Splinterlands is a wonderful game which I love, and I respect every decision which has to be made. I just think the team deserves every opinion.

After I thought about it @yabapmatt (and it's my most recent reply), I think we'll see when it's in place. But still, for the moment I don't necessarily agree.
Thanks.
