RE: Chaos Legion Release & Second Pack Sale

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Credits only is the worst thing possible. If I convert my entire networth to credits and packs sell out before I can click buy, I go bankrupt.

Under the old system, I just have SPS/DEC to trade to other things. Not Splinterlands gift vouchers.

Also, it's a crypto game, not a traditional game. It's disappointing to have to use Splinterlands IOUs for USD here.

There are plenty of non crypto games that use Disney dollar type currencies that people have to buy and cannot sell.

You won't go bankrupt. In the wild case that you don't get to purchase packs, you'd be able to use credits to buy cards off the splinterlands market, sell them on the market (which would give you DEC), and then cash out from there. Sure there is a 5% market fee, but I'm pretty sure that scenario isn't going to be necessary.

We will always refund any purchases of Credits for any reason as long as they haven't been used.

I just realized that it is not possible to buy Credits with DECs on Splinterlands. There is SPS, ETH even Enji coin but not DEC. Maybe you can check it out?

That will be added in before the Chaos Legion release.

Using credits to buy packs is fine with me. Making it impossible to buy packs with DEC (the currency of the game) is the dumbest idea i ever heard of. This will only force a sell off of the token thus resulting in a lower market cap for DEC. I sure hope you guys have a plan here because I do not see it. Why would you ever restrict DEC from buying packs? Give me a single valid argument on this please and I will be as understanding as I possibly can. @yabapmatt Aside from this huge ridiculously unnecessary inconvenience, I love what you guys have done for the game. Thank You

You will be able to buy Credits with DEC before the Chaos Legion release, so that is how players can buy packs with DEC. Of course we will always accept DEC for all purchases within the game.

Why involve credits tho? Why not just allow the use of DEC directly? I just do not understand the added step of inconvenience sorry.

We explained the reasons why in the post:

With this change, there should no longer be any exchange rate discrepancies for DEC or SPS tokens between the website and the backend servers that process the payments like there were in some cases during the presale, and additionally since all purchases will be going through Credits it means they will all be eligible to earn affiliate rewards, which were not available for DEC or SPS purchases during the presale.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I need to understand that this is all a mitigation of discrepancies that are otherwise unavoidable. If it were not for the discrepancies the team would gladly allow the purchase of packs using DEC or SPS. You have enlightened me to the issue at hand. Sorry I did not find this context myself but thank you for pointing it out to me. Sorry this came in while you were live, I was unaware you were live until I entered twitch after commenting. Thanks for your hard work and time! !PIZZA

I truly appreciate conversations like these, when someone desperately asking to understand the reason, and shows gratitude when it becomes clear.

Can I get a refund if I fail to purchase the Chaos Pack after converting DEC to credit...?

How does the refund process go?

Refund credits to what? DEC or SPS? I personally do not want to sit on credits if all packs sold off, are you doing this for general sales too>?
