I agree with this. I'm pretty sure vouchers weren't stopping people from joining during the last bull run. We need players , better NPE and marketing.
If this passes It breaks a lot of trust and I'm not ok with that. Remove vouchers from pack discounts and energy, that's fine. Give us something else to spend them on, maybe skins? Either way it's a promise that if taken away leaves a permanent distaste to many and especially those that factored in a purchases of node licenses based on receiving vouchers because the team said "You will never have enough".
Not to nitpick BUT
Vouchers didn't exist during the last bull run. Vouchers were only introduced as part of the package that killed the last bull run.
I was paying upwards of $6 for vouchers to buy CL packs, I was fairly new and it didn't stop me from playing. I'd definitely call that part of the Splinterlands bull run.
I mean, maybe?
Do you call the thing that ENDED the bull run 'part' of the bull run?
I don't like the idea of vouchers either. It would be a terrible idea to add them now if we didn't have them but we do and so many promises were made using them. So I think there are better ways to address this.
Vouchers did not end the bull run. The general market conditions in addition to a massive overprinting of CL packs combined with misuse of funds from that sale is what ended the Splinterlands bull run.
I do think we remove vouchers from pack discounts, energy or anything else that competes with dec but i think we need a new utility for them.
