When the Best Thing Your Can Do Is To Stop Doing Things (Splinterlands)

avatar

We've done a lot. Time to do nothing.

The economy in Splinterlands still needs help. A lot of help. But, it's time to move on from that for a bit and concentrate on the game.

I agree with just about every change Splinterlands has made recently. The economy needed to have limiters put on it. So much crap was being given out for next to nothing in cost that nothing had any value. "Great, another Pelacor whatever-the-fuck that's worth half a cent!"

  • Making land super expensive to pull a crap ton of assets out of the game was a great move.
  • Putting high levels on SPS staking requirements is also a good move (if you understand it). I wish they'd explained it better than just dropping that chart that was easily misconstrued but I think it's a good move.
  • Soulbound reward cards was a great move.
  • Cutting the DEC faucets was a great move.
  • Burning CL packs was a great move.
  • Pushing bots to wild mode was a great move (but really only just to prove they were listening, other than that it doesn't matter at all).
  • The coming asset staking requirements on guild buildings will be a great move.

These are all great moves because they make the rewards we get for playing the game more valuable and they give the game a chance to break out again instead of being bogged down by the weight of the assets already printed.

So yeah, the team has made a lot of really good moves.

And now it's time to stop for a while.

Finish the story and then chill for a minute

The community is fatigued. Each of these moves, while needed, can feel like they are restricting players and cutting rewards. They aren't but they feel like it. Many players feel like they are under constant assault at this point. People get stressed out thinking about Splinterlands and that's not good.

We have a lot coming down the pike and I think there are a lot of economy improvements that still need to be implemented but for now we need to just put out what was talked about and everything new beyond that should focused on play. Fun. Playing a game.

I've cheered every one of these economic fixes but even I'm fatigued by them all.

Once land 1.5 and validator nodes are live, the next moves need to be game related or at least fun related. Skins, battle pass, game modes, tournaments, etc. All the stuff that Weird Beard was championing before he took this new role and seemingly got bogged down. (Still love you Weird Beard)

The Point

We can still do economy things but they need to be introduced like, "Here's a new cool game thing, rewards aren't monetary, burn some 1 cent cards to participate".

It should not start with "we are making some changes to the economy so your assets are worth more in the future".

If they can create experiences people want to pay for regardless of ROI (like literally everything else voluntarily pay for in the world), the economy might just fix itself.

Yes these are all great ideas and im on the investing side these will all improve the economy and my returns as well as the game experiance is deff a thing that i beleive is high on the priority to bc that is how the revenue comes in from people that play with less concern about the financial aspect than say i have. I have fun with the finaicial aspect of it and figureing out different ways to make money in the game and also ways to help grow the game since it benefits me in all ways as i profit on all sides of it if the company does well as a stock holder investor, if the dao does well as a larger holder, assets do well etc, and now with the two new games im looking at those as the next thing that will do well once released i think soul keep right now has a lot of potential as well as gls once more games are out for it that will be a powerhouse i think now is a good time to look at scooping upsome assets in that after it had the price hit if your able to take the risk with it. I think the product will be great and once it has a larger market that type ofthing wont happen again or as substantial. Wish it didnt but cant do anything other than just vote with my feet and not support things i dont think should be supported. Either way i think all three of the games have a bright future with what they are doing i can see kind of whats going to happen if it all goes well and when dec supply drys up im betting the flywheel starts which will breathe some life into sps and start that whole thing which is key to the economy and sps price action. If that happens the nodes may hit the next price tier which will be very good for say me as ive been buying at 600-800 a node now if they hit the 5000 tier or even start getting bough again at the current tier will work out great for my node aspect of my fund since ill be able to take a nice gain on them and offer them at a discount from the price to investors in my investment club. Im not promoting the investment club here fyi this is not a promotion or anything i will be doing that off on a separate platform made to comply with all the rules etc and one is no general solicitaiton for the regulation ill be using so this is not a offer to sell any type of security or interest in the fund i just mention it bc its part of my plan to do and one of the smarter ways to do it since you collect the management fees and get the syndicators promote as part of the return orthe carried interest as compensation for managing the investments mainly for people who want esposure but have no idea how to do it and dont want to do it just want to get a distribution every week or month with the profits from the fund and K-1 at the end of the year and there will be a team of general partners who manage the club like most clubs or funds operate. Depending on the funding that will help the company be able to develop some of these things if i am able to raise enough capital. We will also be doing various things on hive to stream etc and people can be compensated possibly with a interest in the club based on the work they do but structure im thinking about still under dev. As you can imagine this stuff can get very complicated. Been working on this for a while and looking at all the rules etc is a nightmare but will be worth it i think.

There will always be people intersted in the money aspect but that can be used to fund the part that is fun and attract more players and more revenue
