Is this really necessary?

What about actions like:

  • Sell a new installment DEC-B.
  • Price cards like Zyriel more reasonably so that more people buy them, how about e.g. just 40,000 DEC instead of 40,000 DEC + 160 vouchers? Would certainly burn significantly more DEC.
  • Demand entry fees for tournaments in DEC instead of SPS (prices still in SPS).
  • Generate a new must-have promo card and sell it for DEC, e.g. a neutral Summoner with which you can really play all cards from all Splinters, e.g. for 10 mana
  • Pay leaderboard price in SPS instead of DEC.

Hi there, thanks for providing your view. Below are the drawbacks to your suggestions:

  • I believe DEC-B was a huge mistake, and I had many conversations with @yabapmatt trying to convince him out of it. It ends up inflating DEC much more in the long term with only short term relief for circulating supply, the goal for this proposal is sustainability
  • Those DECs from Zyriel are not burned, it goes to the team which is then redistributed for credit purchases, effectively having zero effect on DEC supply.
  • That would be a negligible amount, please keep in mind this proposal is set to burn 500k-1mil DECs per day.
  • Destroying ranked gameplay by releasing a card that is too powerful will be too damaging to the game, even if it burns a significant amount of DECs
  • Once again, this would be a negligible amount compared to the 500k-1mil per day we would burn if this proposal passes

Sorry, but I think I should contradict.
For you it is "negligible" ?
Have you done the calculation ?
Alone with leaderboard-prices in one format and I counted only the three highest leagues Champion, Dimand and Gold their are 3,28 million DEC, means when also calculating the lower league and consider that this pool exist for both (modern and wild) format we reach propably 7 millione dec and this means by a season of 14 days 500k DEC a day, so if 500k DEC a day is negligible why you do a proposal to burn 500k DEC / day ?

To be honest I don't want do now the calculation for tournaments, also cause this is a question of exchange-rate between DEC and SPS, but I guess leaderboard price + tournamnet entries will have approximately the same effect than your proposal.

That's a fair point, I had not done the calculation myself.

However, replacing DEC with SPS for season rewards has issues of its own. For example, where would this new season reward come from? We can't just mint SPS out of thin air and wherever it comes from, we will get a new set of unhappy people with reduced rewards.

Hello, thank you for your answer.
When I read this here:

https://docs.splinterlands.com/splintershards-sps/providing-liquidity-sps

and count together the 4 liquidy pools than they get a reward of 5.25 Million SPS but 7.5 million SPS are allocated, so IMO 2.25 million SPS are "free" - even if this 2.25 million SPS is every month and the 7.22 million DEC is every season we would just need arround 500k SPS (to the actual SPS/DEC-rate) to replace all leaderboard-prices with SPS or I have a mistake in this calculation ?

About the "must-have-promo-card" I understand your issue, but I think not that it is correct.
Look f.e. the Mylor (Dice-Summoner Earth) - he is definitely such a must-have-promo-card.
I think you will agree that in some rulesets he is the best summoner in the game but in other rulesets other summoner are just stronger, same with Yodin Zaku or other summoners.
So it would also be with my suggestion (and I would expect that the team will think to create a card who you need in some rulesets but don't destroy the ranked gameplay) or would would even think to use this summoner with 10-Mana-costs in a 12 Mana-battle ?
