Good afternoon to you all
Here is part 2 of my ideas and proposals I sent to the Splinterlands team
Please only come back at me with good reasoning, I don't just want spam hate etc
Last bit as some people seem to not like my writing style 😅 I am Dyslexic and hate using things like Grammarly as it depresses me so let me know if bits don't make sense!
Let's crack on!
Wild pass
I understand the implementation of the pass and why it was needed but it sadly isn’t a great start. I was sold on SPL as you own cards you can play with them. Now I cannot play with them unless I pay. That is a sour pill to swallow and further pushes me away from spl and makes me not want to even bother with rebellion.
The pass needs to be more than just pay this fee or you can’t play. That seems very much like a dictatorship and very similar to the EA business model of gaming which cost them dearly.
Would you consider adding to the pass?
Making it a month pass that you can earn points similar to glint, but that has 0 monetary value to the players. IE skins, titles, promo cards. Things that are account bound and untradeable
This could cover both Modern and Wild which would bring in some more excitement and tap into the cosmetics focused players that are out there. As there are thousands.
There could be varying costs for different promo cards etc but overall would bring value to a very poor valued pass at this time.
This could also bring more revenue to the team. I am no dev so I am unsure on the work required but it would potentially net the company some good money.
I can give examples if needed.
New spellbook purchases
New spellbooks need a small set of owned cards and a little bit of sps to start their journeys with. If you buy the spell book, it is a frightening experience as SPL dosnt hold your hand really and dosnt explain much.
This would allow players to get started and see some interesting rewards from the get go.
Price of spellbook would maybe need to be changed or not. Company decision really.
Rewards from battles of all kinds – Ranked, Brawl and Tournament
This has always been a bugbear of mine. With recent sps requirements to earn, the game becomes a bit of a run around. To earn you needed cards and sps. But to get them you need money. And a lot of it which for some it is not feasible to dump a few hundred dollars on a game.
The argument that renting is there is a very poor reason, as the game was always advertised as own your assets, not rent them.
With renting, unless you get exceptional deals which is hard, you can actually be stuck in an endless cycle of never being able to afford your own cards as you have to sell your sps rewards to pay the rent.
**
Proposal:**
Dec goes back to being rewards, maybe vouchers or tiny amounts of sps. But majority to be dec.
This gives a number of benefits in my eyes.
If you win you can then afford to buy or rent more cards/sps. But as sps is a major part of the game it shouldn’t be given so freely. So dec is the only way to buy sps.
So this means both the player and the company win
Players would then stake sps and use dec for buying or renting from the markets.
You could either burn the dec or recycle how the company requires for funding purposes.
SPS lacks an appeal to own for a lot that I have spoken too.
