Sorry but I don't get your point.
To remove the Top-3-Bonus will especially help the smaller or mid-tier-guilds as they will get more rewards, this change will take away rewards from the top-3-guilds and bring it to the guild from place 4 on.
Maybe you don't understand how it works, so let me explain you:
At the moment the rewards are shared into two pots:
- 12% for the Top-3-finished as bonus.
- 88% for all guilds (including the top-3-guilds)
With this this change Crowns and Merrits will be shared:
- 100% for all guilds without any bonus for the top-3
in fact guilds who finish from place 4 to 10 will receive 14% more crowns and merrits than they get now at the expense of the top 3 guilds.
Competing in T2 is not so rewarding but we are stuck because of T3 frays. Despite the frustration we still do that and the rewards for working hard and being in top 3 keep at least some motivation going. The proposal which will primarily benefit whales will kill whatever little motivation we have left. Many guilds in T2 do not work hard, do not fill many frays, and only use lowest level cards. I suspect some of those are alt accounts. Why would you redistribute any resources from the T2 guild which work hard to make top 3? We are already getting like 15 SPS and 2000 merits per brawl. Do you want to decrease this little amount even further? The proposal may sound good in theory but it is not created by people who actually have good experience competing in lower tier brawls (T2) and who do not appreciate the current reality of brawls in Splinterlands.
"We are already getting like 15 SPS and 2000 merits per brawl."
So it would be a good idea to move to tier 3 as their was your result 19,661 SPS and 2111 merits and the merits (and also the crowns) would increase by roughly 14% when the top-3-bonus is shared between all guilds.
"The proposal which will primarily benefit whales"
Exactly not, the most whales are in top-guilds who reach regularly top-3-positions, so they will even loose rewards but I hope that they see the big picture.
"Many guilds in T2 do not work hard, do not fill many frays, and only use lowest level cards."
Have you spoken to them or how can you be so sure? Don't you think your statement is arrogant towards smaller guilds in Tier 2, who are usually trying to do their best?
Unlike you, I play in T2 and I see who we face. Many guilds do not fill frays and many have level 1 cards in Silver frays. The irony about arrogant statement...
Why didn't you mention out T2 results? Playing in T3 we got the LOWEST merits relative to our T2 brawls. The SPS was comparable but certainly not the highest.
"Why didn't you mention out T2 results? Playing in T3 we got the LOWEST merits relative to our T2 brawls. The SPS was comparable but certainly not the highest."
Exactly this we want change buy removing the top-3-bonus for crownes and merits.
A guild in Tier 3 should always get more merrits than a guild in Tier 2.
So with taking away the top-3-bonus for crownes and merits the first in Tier 2 get significant less crownes and merits than before and the places 4-10 in Tier 3 get significant more crownes and merits than in Tier 2, so that is doesn't make sense to play in a deeper tier to win more crownes and merits.
Imagine that in football all teams want play on second league and no one want play in first league - you think it would be possible ? I think in no country this would be possible - also not in your home country.
Maybe their can be a single team who don't want to promote but than many many teams stand their to take this place.
