I think you would have a different perspective if you participated in a guild that didn't even have enough members in it to fill all of the spots. I have seen so many players leave a guild, stop playing, infrequently participate or enter a spot and not show up to brawl. It is a constant battle for many guilds to maintain a strong member base and it looks like it is getting harder. I am seeing a trend where the only cards players are owning are soulbound and all of the rest are rented and these players don't have long term interest in the game they are just trying to suck the most out of it.
I understand its better to have more players participating. What this proposal does is pretend that all of the players are participating when they are not and we will hand out points as though they are even if you don't deserve it. It's almost like trying to cover up the lack of participation when what is needed is something done about player retention and attracting new players to the game. But I don't think this proposal will be doing anything for the bigger picture.
100% agree here, Our guild have been struggling to fill the gold only and alpha/beta type of fray for over a year now because no one have those cards and no one want to spend to get these cards (especially right now where the game is slowly dying and that card value is flash crashing everyday that pass) This is not a proper solution to the real problem that is that the frays system is broken and need a rethink and to be done better so that it's not only a huge pay to win fest that only benefit the top guilds and top players.
This kind of echo chamber that is in place in the DAO where only the rich people have a voice will lead every smaller player to leave and you guys will be left with a circle jerk of top 100 players being the sole players in Splinterlands...I've talk to many people and let's be honest, everyone are hopping for the next SPL bull run so that they can cash out and leave...We deserve better then that as a community but whatever anyone have to say, DAO is an oligarchy of the richest players that can collude to make anything pass in the DAO and smaller players always left in the dark.
Then you wonder no one want to waste their precious time going to the discord to argue about anything or try to make the game better, it's simply not not built for having the best interested of everyone at hearth but in fact having each and everyone our own personal interest in mind each time we vote. Such a waste of time
The title of this proposal should be "Award free points to guilds against other guilds that leave fray spots empty"
So maybe this proposal is a blueprint of how to get a proposal through.
First make the title sound like it is equitable.
Second write some confusing stuff that says it fair, logical and has way more pros than cons.
Third add some BS calculations and say see it does work.
Literally watched a streamer live upvote this proposal interpreting the title as the individual fray requirement slots becoming more equal in number, as in having a better balance of fray requirements rather than 5 of 18 (almost 1/3 of fray slots) being GF in T3. People are definitely upvoting by mis-interpretation of a bad heading.
The problem for us is the specialized frays. We have enough members to fill every spot but not for the gold foil frays, rebellions frays ect...
They are far too specific for most people who have a varied collection of cards. Much better to have more general frays at the different levels and let the best players win.
