RE: A sad realization about Splinterlands Hive Resource Extraction :(

[tobetada]

This has got to be one of the longest posts I have ever seen so congratz for that alone 😅

The problem with web3 games is that people will always try to extract maximum valuefrom it. That means there is almost always more value being extracted out of it than is put in. It's not a splinterlands specific problem, although it has been aggravated by bad economic decisions. Is there a single game that doesn't have this problem out there? I doubt it.

So what to do about it? Inflation is definitely a major problem and splinterlands has done all the wrong things here. 3B Sps, overprinting in cards etc... this only works when the influx of new players or of money exceeds that devaluation. And that generally happens in a bull market. We haven't really had one which is why things look so dire.

Anyway, I think there is still a chance if the team/game survives for a couple more years. Yeah at least another cycle. This year probably won't be the great salvation as mismanagement simply put the great really on hold u tul it gets sorted out

Haha, yeah it got a little up there :)

The solution for this particular issue is:

1. Stop giving out packs to people who don't even have Spellbooks!
2. Curation Team needs to be aware for peoples HIVE activity and should vote with lower percentages + select other artists to "win"
3. There needs to be an effort to get these artists to be more involved with HIVE and not extract 100%... nothing wrong with taking some money out... every penny? For two years straight?
