I'm actually really sorry to say this. I love this Game and platform. And this is the first time that the teams action/ reaction/ execution actually makes me mad. Usually the team is very good. In fact usually I'm very impressed with the team.
1st. removing any aspect of a platform, especially an economic one with no notice is bad. It should never be done. You don't give people an option that they get used to, enjoy and use regularly, then pull it with no notice. Very unprofessional.
2nd. According to the statement. The price was meant to be .75 and the ability to buy them for .75 still even tho the dec price is increase is not a horrible platform impacting issue. Adjust the price of potions in dec to .75 usd market value of dec. You set the credit price pegged. Credits won't fluctuate and you knew that when you inputted the method. Considering that you are building on blockchain tech. You also knew that dec would appreciate if adopted. You price in credits so the price of pots would stay stable.
3rd. Credits in the platform allowed people who Are not crypto literate to be able to play and still get the special nft items of crypto gaming. This is a net positive for crypto, nfts. And gaming communities. All of them impacted positively, because new interest is being brought to each sector from people that never would have had it before. That person that was crypto illiterate will probly be a crypto vet soon if he/she is able to start out with funding his hand via Google play wallet as they are used to. And the blockchain investor is more likely to pick up gaming when they can earn crypto to play. However if the only way to advance is to set up 3 different wallets, learn hive, bsc. Eth. Wax platforns and markets and go through defi markets to buy then transfer dec into ingame wallet. Save all these private keys (i can go on but lets just say it's a lot) the chances of new interest from public and retail users gets much slimmer. I know. I have a crypto community discord group with only about 1,000 ppl and i spend many hrs walking people through just the basics of blockchain tech and crypto economics.
4th. There is no way i will buy a potion for 750 dec at current price. Let alone the price it will be 3 months from now.
and i doubt more than a very few others will either. That price is rediculous. You have to remember this is crypto, the utility token of an adopted platform goes up. Dec will go up in price, and that's the way it should be. That is a good ecosystem tokenomics.
At time of writing. 750 dec is 5.50 on pancake swap +gas. For an item the game devs originally pegged at .75.
Generally the 35 dec and alchemy pots gained are maybe worth the .75 maybe, but those are not why i buy them. It's the cards, and not the super common and generally useless chain spinner and nightmare. But the rarity of those x 750 dec. Not even close to Worth it. I'm not even slightly tempted by it. The Raitt of decent pulls from quest x .75 is reasonable. Fun and tempting enough to bite.
Overall very dissapointed in the teams action and execution.
