Why is this not a thing? - Splinterlands - Missing communication towards low league players

I'll be honest, I'm a bit skeptical at this point regarding my future in the Splinterlands. My main reason for this is, that I have a feeling the development team works on everything except the important stuff (for me), at least according to the communications. I need to add that I like to think of myself as a get to the point guy, so I don't like the fluff on the townhalls, when . I will go through a few examples on what I mean and come at the end to what I believe should get bigger focus.

Does the Townhall impact me?

Let's start with what were the main talking points on the town halls since September. I will also add my opinion on how much these points affect Player Base Growth and Player Retention.

Topic		Player Base Growth		Player Retention
Riftwatcher update - new cards	0	Still a lot of Chaos cards available, high price	+	New card to try out
Tower Defense	-	New game brings competition	-	New game brings competition
SPS License Reward	0	No impact on new players	0	No impact on most of he players
GLS	-	New game brings competition	-	New game brings competition
Runi	0	No impact on new players	0	No impact on most of the players
Streamer Mode	0+	Not many stream viewers, low impact	0+	Not many stream viewers, low impact
Brawl SPS Rewards	0+	Gets knowledge about guilds	+	Impacts guild members positively
Alliestrasza Tournament	0+	Not many stream viewers	0+	Not many stream viewers
Splinterfest	0+	Won't go there, maybe hears about it	0	Most can't go
Creative - New Lore	0+	Interesting stories, might start checking out the game	0+	Some players love the stories
Dygycon	0	Game related topic are to low	0+	Networking?
NFTy Arcade	+	Information how to start	+	Possible upgrade in options
EMP	0	Investment, not game related	0+	Rather investment then play
Coliseum Of Chaos on Splinterfest	0+	Interesting, but can't try out, yet	0+	Interesting, but can't try out, yet

So according to me, if I would be a new player, or as I am a casual player who does not have unlimited resources there are very few updates impacting me positively in the townhalls.

Who are the townhalls made for?

• Splinterlands as a company
• Splinterlands Whales
• Splinterlands as a game
• Most of the Splinterlands players

I don't feel that the later would be the case and if I'm not the one, who the team is talking to, then I think there is a problem in the system. There should be at least 1/3 of each town hall talking to most of the users as I understand, that most of the money comes from elsewhere, but player base is important to keep the game running. I mean Nate can only bamboozle the audience with creative topics for so long.

What topics I would like to hear discussed about:

• How will Splinterlands attract new players?
• How do the current actions impact retention and growth?
• When will the mobile interface be updated to work and show correctly the season end rewards chests, show focus and SPS rewards, make it available to claim SPS, open Riftwatcher gems?
• When will land be implemented and provide another level of complexity?
• We are told they are multiple teams working on different aspects of the game, how come there are no updates on the above, not even plans?
• Will there be any actions taken so rewards structure is easily understood?
• Why is it, that even though the Splinterlands team mentioned, that with the success of the Chaos Legion they are covered financially for a few year, the new announcements focus a lot on new revenue streams for the company?

Don't get me wrong, you should milk the cow you cared for, but you should also continue taking care of it, so it lives longer.

So these are my thoughts. I hope the focus will shift a bit towards regular players in the communication as a x-mas present 😅

At the end feel free to comment my thoughts, show me where I might be wrong. I definitely would like to have a better picture on the situation.
Thank you for your time.
