Thanks for the comment. Credits are converted by Splinterlands all the time as middleman to buy things on the market and deliver the DEC to the final destination. This is no different?
I'm indifferent to the exact price in DEC, as long as it's a FIXED PRICE, and ideally if they can incorporate the cost of a voucher burn as an upcharge or something. I'm okay with 5000 DEC, I'm also okay with 8000-9000 DEC (although that was proposed back when DEC was at 55% of the PEG, probably 6000 would be more equivalent)
"Soon land" isn't a reason for it not to come - it's actually a reason why we SHOULD do this... Let me tell you why I think that:
Let's say Land 1.5 will use a huge pile of DEC. At a minimum, it will 'encourage DEC towards PEG'. [Maybe, just maybe, DEC even breaks PEG for a bit, and some SPS is burned to rebalance?
But that's not the focus - let's look slightly past that. Once plots are loaded, DEC is more scarce, that's a good start. But we aren't going to have some surprise Land 1.75 to look forward to, to keep DEC on the ropes. We can't even expect relief from new Guild Buildings for a while, since we all pre-burned 500+ Million DEC and got ourselves lots of Guild Power. So we have to wait until Land 2.0, because there's not much in between.
So we should want to plan ahead, and set ourselves up now, while the near term outlook for DEC is mostly positive, and KEEP ADDING USE CASES FOR DEC to perpetually burn ANY new supply that comes on.
Maybe, if passed, they could announce that this change will take place one maintenance after Land 1.5 goes live, so the expectations for a "discount" are hopefully lowest.
