EDIT: I've changed my mind on the burning event and made a new comment on the post if anyone cares to see my updated thoughts.
I would like to support the burning event and in fact I was excited to participate.
I thought we were going to be burning our cards/DEC/vouchers for a promo card and I was excited to have that dynamic.
I'm much less thrilled with this as a player and would only participate if I can arbitrage the assets based on my likely winnings (which I personally don't like to do as that's not fun).
I feel if this passes without a promotional card or two to buy with our points, then this will be counterproductive.

Agree with Dave here. Also, this implementation seems like a 95% copy of the previous burn event - what is the need for $100k? Is it to pay for developers? Or is the DAO essentially buying the SPL asset rewards from SPL?
I'd be much more excited for the DAO to pay SPL for this event if it included development of a unique promo card.
Yeah have to agree. Spending $100k to develop something that already exists seems like a bit of a stretch.
Personally, I'd like to see the DAO spending money on getting new players rather than squeezing the current assets into a smaller package.
We were planning to do a promo card sale in April for the Bitcoin halving which is why I didn't include promo cards as part of this event, however if the community would prefer this include promo cards I don't see any reason why we couldn't just have this event be the halving event and then include the promo cards. This would likely increase the payment amount we ask for though because promo card sales are an important revenue source for us.
This is what I personally would want to see, and I think its fair that if we are taking away revenue from you that it would be justified that we make the proper compensation. I don't know the numbers, but I trust you Matt!
I don't know about the numbers but I see it exactly as Dave. The promo card as a reward for burning makes it much more desirable to burn assets. I would like to see guaranteed promo cards for X amount of points, to reduce/remove the RNG from it. When I burn precious cards and tokens, I want to know what I am getting for it, instead of gambling and risking it all.
Combining it with the Bitcoin halvening sounds really cool. That puts a potential end of the event 2 months out.
If you need to increase the payment from the DAO in order to stay afloat longer, then I assume the community will understand and support that. Right now it sounds more like paying for something, that already kind of exists plus some assets. Supporting the company though puts it in a different perspective.
Same for me here. Just burning your gameassets for some random chance is something I would not participate in.
If its about a promo card Im 100% on board with burning some of my otherwise less useful cards.
This is the way, With guarantees on minimum levels got promo cards. This doesn't seem right and combing the two will make it a lot special/momentous
What made the last burning event a bit hit and success? I feel like we should model from that and slowly progress forward. The last thing we want is to possibly create even more inflation by giving away too much and not burning enough to cover the value.
