We've always been flies on the wall in mavchat and while we won't immediately gain access, should this proposal pass, this gives us an attainable goal - and as long-term sps holders, its one that aligns with our own goals anyway.
Objectively speaking, we are fans of the proposed change as the perceived and immediate benefits include:
Required ongoing investment in the ecosystem to maintain mav status vs the current 1k packs and done, lifetime achievement granted
Allows for fresh voices to enter the mav community which otherwise wouldn't be possible until Rebellion in sometime 2024
Hopefully this approach sees the most committed to the game/community enter mavchat, despite socioeconomic standing due to SPS' ability to be accumulated in a multitude of ways and over time. We live/work in Asia on market adjusted wages and $4k+ USD to drop all at once is a tall task, making achieving mav status via the traditional route a near impossibility.
While 100k staked SPS might not be the right long-term number, it feels like a solid starting benchmark and we look forward to seeing how the community responds to this proposal.
We would love the opportunity to be able to engage, chat and network with the mav community directly and this makes it a reasonably attainable possibility for us.
Cheers for putting this together @leveluplifeph
