@bulldog1205 - here's a great post highlighting what we've been talking about!
Peakmonsters and you can see they are spending 64 DEC/day on Rentals and have some others delegated for a total of 88 Cards88 Total Cards, some delegated & some rented. I looked through @libertygame27 cards via
I bet with some of those cards removed - like Ifrit Rising lol, it could be pared down to 75 Cards... and Liberty has made it to DIAMOND.
Isn't that what you would want to see for a new player? Not relegated to Bronze... but given the chance to play, level up and earn more than before... Liberty is yet again proving this is profitable and I love it!
This should be the New Player Target - and I think we could help them achieve it :)
Now try the renting experience in bronze or silver.
Diamond is not where new players start, for various reasons. You can't just skip over what is happening in lower leagues and say the system is good because Diamond works.
So playing in Modern by renting cards and SPS can be profitable for a new player but in my opinion the discussion about seasonal or daily rental is not so important for a new player and it is not that important to retain a new player in the medium to long termHi @bulldog1205 In my test I started from Bronze III league and arrived in Diamond league with 50K SPS, 67 delegated cards from my main account (card value $84) + a rental cost of 453 DEC for 21 Chaos Legion max level cards for the final 7 days of the season and I earned 248 SPS.
Splinterlands is an example of a game that has structured and fun gameplay that would still have so much potential to attract new players but this potential is in my opinion greatly reduced by the current Modern Format (human players only) and Wild Format (bots and wild pass) division
Currently on Splinterlands a human player who enter today and buy Chaos legion in three months he will find that he can only use the cards he bought to play against bots and will also have to pay 2K DEC to use his cards in Ranked Play.
To me this is an absurdity that has driven away so many old human players and will drive away so many new human players.
Obviously my opinions are personal and therefore not shareable but I will continue to share my idea of what the structure of ranked play should be:
For me, this division would be a good step forward to restore value to the gameplay and reemphasize human players which are the pillars of every web 2 and web 3 game
I am thinking of making a proposal on this aspect.
What do you think, would you support an SPS proposal of mine on this modification?
Do you think it would have a chance of passing?
