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:
- Modern Format: human players only + eventual liquidity bots owned by Splinterlands
- Wild Format: human players only + eventual liquidity bots owned by Splinterlands
- Bot Format: private bots and human players + Wild Pass.
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?
