RE: Reward Cards Update

I like the idea. The problem is that team is financially strained and it will take more than copying some Land 1.5 code to develop this system. You could try making a DAO Proposal to see if you can get community support.

Hi Vimukthi,
Thanks for taking the time to read my comment.
I don't have the DEC to create a proposal.
Also, Whales control SL, and SL employs some mega Whales from what I can work out. So any proposal that will cost SL to implement will be voted down, especially if SL are strapped for cash.
The proposal system makes the minnows feel like they have a say, but the reality is that they don't.
If SL were interested, they would have read the comment, and be considering it.
I have proven to myself that SL staffers could unlock their Reward cards and profit from these changes, so why would they vote to disadvantage themselves?
As some commenters have pointed out, enticing desperately needed fresh players to this game seems low on SL's agenda.
Those who can afford to unlock the Reward cards (SL-employed mega Whales included) will have the opportunity to unlock the abundant locked NFT's and transform them into scarce unlocked NFT's, which, in the future could become very valuable. All at the expense of the wider player base.
Whether it is ethical for SL-employees to unlock these cards when they work for the company that issues them and when it is at the expense of a large number of customers', is up for debate.
Some government agencies would see DEC and SPS as commodities and maybe the NFT's. Considering the value involved (Billions of $US), this could leave SL open to investigation.
For example, in some countries, employees entering public lotteries created by their employer is illegal.
After all, the SL locked Reward NFT's were originally won and randomly revealed by opening a Chest (before the introduction of Glint). So, it could be considered a form of gambling.
Strangely, the player base has moved on already and accepted this. The comments here have dried up, and on Discord, have moved on to other subjects.
People are now talking about the new cards & abilities and strategising.
Clever move, bundling good news with bad and sticking the good news at the front. Right out of a politician's handbook, lol.
Is this yesterday's news already?
Try gaining support on Discord. With enough support you will be able to have a community funded Proposal. 100,000 DEC is a significant amount for many of us. One of the biggest problems with governance is that there isn't enough participation. That is why the Whales have a great deal of power. Only 20% -25% staked SPS votes for Proposals.
Hi Vimukthi,
I thought SPS proposals were SPS DAO specific and not for game content / NFT changes.
After my conversation with MattClarke (potentially an SL Discord Mod/involved in SL Treasury) on this Hive post I am seriously considering whether Splinterlands is a pyramid scheme. With Mega Whale SL Employees at the top of the pyramid and the Whales just below them. At the bottom of the pyramid are the people being milked to line the pockets at the top.
SL Leadership were also involved in the creation of Golem Overlord (GO). My first experience with GO Discord Mods was being accused of spamming a channel for submitting two posts hours apart. I now have further doubts about this game.
SL is not worth my time, my SPS holding dropped $10 to $100 in 24 hours as far as I saw at a glance.
Worse than this the SL Leadership are also heavily involved in Hive.
I have already made considerable progress with WAX, this is where my future lies.
Crypto is about money, if you don't trust someone with your money, it's time to move on.
