I agree with most of this except that I think the free account credits are facilitating much of the new account spam. Were it not for that, a fee of 1 HIVE or such would likely be sufficient to be a minimal barrer to legitimate accounts while deterring most spam. I have no idea, however, about the long term resource usage. It's definitely an issue. I think we'll hear more from @blocktrades at some point when they report on their review of RC calculations. They've already said that new accounts are a very expensive operation.

Most of these accounts were paying $10 for a Splinterlands spell book (requirement for all new splinterlands players) as they were bots used to play the game to farm rewards. So there was a barrier to entry for the end user and for Splinterlands when the free credits dried up.
