Battle pass removal for invested players

Proposal: Removal of Battle Pass for Wild Format - Staked Accounts

We are considering the removal of the Battle Pass requirement in the Wild format for players with a certain amount of staked and owned SPS (Splintershards). This initiative aims to enhance competitiveness within Splinterlands and foster long-term investments in the ecosystem.

After receiving positive feedback from the community regarding this potential change, we’ve decided to conduct polls to gather further insights. These polls will help us determine the appropriate staking thresholds and fine-tune the implementation based on player feedback.

Proposal Overview:

The Battle Pass will be removed only for players who have staked "XSTAKE" SPS on their accounts.
The "XSTAKE" requirement will increase by "INCREASE" each season.
This proposal is community-driven, and we value your input in shaping it.

We’ve created three polls to collect feedback:

  1. Do you support the removal of the Battle Pass for accounts with staked SPS?
    Please vote here

  2. What should the initial "XSTAKE" requirement be?
    Please vote here

  3. How much should the "XSTAKE" increase by each season?
    Please vote here

  4. What do you prefer better?
    Please vote here

Players who do not meet the "XSTAKE" requirement will still need to purchase the Battle Pass. The idea come from fundamental idea that Battle pass should be implemented to remove the bot farms. But invested player shouldn't be affected with this.

This proposal will be funded by the community. If you'd like to contribute DEC, or support in other ways, please reach out to me—assuming we receive strong support from the polls.

*once the SPS distribution stops the "INCREASE" is removed

I voted. Doesn't look like it will pass.

However, I thank you for setting up the poll.

I like the idea, it might open doors for bot farms again, so the required investment should be something that takes it into account. It might need some re-balancing after implementation :D

if an account with 100k SPS staked is bot farm then so be it :) Only owned and staked SPS not delegated is taken into consideration

Yeah, I've been playing SPL for almost 3 years and don't have 100k SPS yet (I am very close though). I got all that just by playing, I haven't bought much, but I haven't sold any.
I consider myself a well-invested player (with around $10k portfolio - in my country that's a lot of money), and I would like to be able to play wild without paying the pass.
So I really like this idea.

I liked it until I saw the amount of SPS. 300k+? What the fuck lmao. Even if I still played there’s no way I would be able to attain 300k SPS while also buying ultra expensive packs and promos.

I sold about 10k SPS and traded 12k SPS for the promo set. Even if I didn’t sell anything and didn’t give the SPS for the promo sets and staked everything I don’t think I would cross 100k SPS without having to substantially buy large amounts of SPS. I have 40k SPS staked even still after not playing for a year and staking what I earn all the time.

Making it 300k is frankly out of touch with the economic reality of the world. 120-150 is reasonable but still too high IMO.

I doubt most of the bot accounts are even 20k SPS so I think this is just making something like this out of reach for the average person and player.

it could have been without that option on 300k . Those that are in general against this put their vote on 300k :) what can you do

its not a terrible number at these prices but still is alot in some places i get it to. I would say 150=200

i agree if you have x sps you should not be penalized in wild at all. Also the rewards pools should be exactly the same at this point they put enough penalities for bots to not come

shoudl be any sps honestly delegated owned rented there still spending the money and they wont be profitable if they need to spend that on thousands of accounts and if they are a little profitable and spend a ton of money jsut would need to get the balance right so it allows invested bots deters non invested ones

I like this idea and I will support it. Such a change brings added value to staking SPS. We need more demand for SPS at the moment.

I liked it until I saw the fucking ridiculous SPS amount that was being specified as needed. That's fucking dumb lol

The exact amount of SPS needed can be (and should be) negotiated. I have 120,630 SPS staked and my rank is 1022. Very few players will be able to benefit. Total staked amount is 887,929,185 SPS. The bar must be lowered.

What could be an alternative solution is a discount based on a amount of SPS staked starting from somewhere like 1,000 SPS. More players will benefit from such a system.

Ya I like your alternative solution to that!
