RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Alternative to Solution to Minimize Bot Farms

in #spsproposal7 months ago (edited)

It is no secret that I was on the verge of quitting the game. when the CP proposal was accepted at that time, I immediately made more purchases, including a Wild deck with Rebellion cards, and so on. However, when the proposal was not implemented, and the new ranking system went in the opposite direction by removing the level penalty, it felt like a death blow to the cards and consequently to the game. I was in the process of selling everything until a few days ago. Then, during the last town hall, Matt responded to someone else’s question, saying that he would implement the proposal if it were resubmitted with adjustments to the new system. Initially, I thought, “Whatever, I’m done with Splinterlands.” But when a few people asked me if I would submit it again, I decided to do so out of a sense of obligation to the remaining players. The more I delved back into the matter, the more hope I regained, and I stopped the sale. Personally, this is now the point that would keep me here because I believe it is essential to save the Wild mode so that the cards don’t die once they are removed from Modern!

and extracting is also very far-fetched, if you look at my account, since the new ranking introduction i don't play in modern anymore, instead i tested everything possible in wild, bronze level deck, only soulbound, my deck, my deck +rent. because i wanted to be absolutely sure that my analysis is correct. so the truth is that since the new ranking i pay more for testing than i earn. that's the opposite of extracting!
so next time please look better ;)

Your point of removing the level penalty being bad is absolutely correct,that´s why the current system doesn´t work.If they bring that back, bots will rent gold league/max cards again and we wouldn´t have so many gold league/max copies for sale now, because people could still rent them out for a reasonable price.That should have been the proposal.

How about, instead of penalizing players for not having the 'proper' level of card- we institute a multiplier based on the level/rarity of the cards fielded?

The level 'penalty' was bad, for many, many reasons- first and foremost: it wasn't based off of 'fielded'. It was based on 'highest level of owned/rented'. So, people would own/rent cards to avoid the penalty while fielding Starter Summoners and L1 teams.
Ie. accounts would rent L5 Chaos Agents then field them as L1 because that same account didn't rent/own ANY summoners.

OTOH if there was a policy where all (non-SB) 'Silver' leveled cards got you a 4x (25x) multiplier to your earnings.... well I think you would see a MASSIVE uptick in the quality of cards fielded.

how about the SPS req doesnt that make people spend enough money over large bot farms. This wont impact me much except being very annoying bc i have to re arrange my main deck to my alt accounts just to get the right CP so i can keep my level and earnings where they are.

no i had already made the proposal last year, because the problem already existed at that time, the abolition of the level penalty then brought it to light for everyone. the level penalty only limited it to one degree so that most people don't see it at first glance if they don't deal with it. but even then the problem was already there. or are you telling me 1bcx accounts in silver 1 with gold rating were no problem? the abolition of the level penalty only closed the last brake
