"card owners won't be yanking away the rentals every few days to get a few more bucks."|
I so agree on this. I'm not rich and if anything, I'm poor and able to like put $3 only per 2 weeks on the game for rental (thank Splinterlands contest), and it's pretty annoying to deal with the change in price every day. I rent the cards for the whole 15 days, and it will be cancelled after 2 days because the owner of the card wanted to change the price from 0.5 dec to 0.6 DEC. I have to spend a few minutes everyday which cards has been cancelled and re-rent them or else I'll lose on my battles.
If you can still put the cards on 0.20 DEC per day, as a renter, I should be thankful. But business-wise, it's not smart unless you do can get that lost 0.80 DEC from other card rentals.
Either way, the extra 1 DEC fee will be burned so it's not going to rotate on the market and will be good in maintaining the value of DEC especially since people can play always Brawl and get a card to burn for DEC which increases the DEC in the market and thus lowering the price overall.
