RE: SPS Proposal: Give Summoners a 3X Production Point Bonus when assigned to work on land

I think there's some value in doing it as a proposal personally. It forces everyone to make a decision/clear stance.

Sometimes where the community stands on something is unclear until it's put to a stake weighted vote.

This kind of proposal clears things up very quick so we can see if it's actually a priority for the community or not. If it's just a discussion, we definitely get glimpses into the different arguments, but don't necessarily have as strong an understanding as when folks actually vote.

With a proposal we get a few benefits:

1. We see if it's something the community cares about enough to even get a quorum met on the vote.
2. We see if the community is strongly one way or the other on an issue.
3. We still get the opportunity to discuss the idea and are encouraged to do so somewhat quickly because there's a built in deadline for the discussion.

I do think it's fair that there's likely a balance for what should or shouldn't be a proposal, and I'm not sure where that line is... but on this one, there was clear frustration voiced by many in the community about how Summoners didn't have extra value in Land and this let's us see how many in the community feel strongly about it or not.

On the matter at hand... I think I'm with you and am voting against this. I agree with @yabapmatt 's assessment that Summoners do not need extra benefit on land and would rather not have their price be artificially driven up further with no clear reason to do so in land. Especially because it will make them harder to acquire for the game where they DO serve a big purpose already.
