What is the percentage of accounts in silver or gold that are playing with level 1 cards? How many extra SPS are rewarded for level 1 cards, comparing with and without this change? Splinterlands should reveal the data like this if they want to get more support from the community.
I think there should be a video for a proposal like this explaining the change. I'm sure some people don't realize that "you can play with no penalty in gold with a max silver deck. you can play with no penalty in silver with a max bronze deck. You start to get penalized when you play in gold with max bronze deck."
I heard that there's going to be a change where you can pick the level of cards you can use. If that is announced, that changes things as well.
I see a lack of information and communication here.
