A Nine Year Old's Reaction To Rank Play Changes

avatar
(Edited)

Today I logged in my SPL account to play a few games and it just so happens that there was a Nine Year Old here that wanted to play some Splinterlands. I hand over my alt account so they can play. This misfit has played Splinterlands before and enjoys the game. The first thing they noticed when getting ready to battle was the change to rank play showing 50 Battles and that is when the conversation below started (not word for word but as close as I can remember).

Nine Year Old:

"What is that 50/50 next to the battle screen?"

RentMoney:

"That is the new system for rank battles"

Nine Year Old,

"Why was it changed?"

RentMoney:

"Some players were confused by the old system"

Nine Year Old:

"So how does this new one work?"

RentMoney:

"If the 50 battles run down to 0 you have to wait for it to recharge
or you can trade some tokens for more battles."

Nine Year Old:

"The Old System Is Better, I ain't paying man.
Do you know what they (Splinterlands) should do?"

RentMoney:

"What?"

Nine Year Old;

"They should put some rank plays in chests,
so people have a chance to play longer without paying."

Rentmoney:

"That's a good idea, I'm going to put it on my blog."

Nine Year Old

(Big Smile) Hive fives me and says "OK"

The above was the end of our conversation. The line where the nine year old says "I ain't paying man" cracked me up. It took everything in me not to laugh. I do like their suggestion of having some Rank Battle Recharges(?) in chests. Anyways, there you have it. A Nine Year Old's thoughts on recent rank battle changes implemented by the Splinterlands team. What-ever HIVE Dollars/HIVE this post earns will go directly to the nine year old as soon as this post hits payout. I'll keep the HIVE/HBD and hand them over some fiat so they can spend as they wish.

What Is Splinterlands?

These NFT's can be won in battle and/or purchased from the official Splinterlands marketplace or many other secondary markets. Game play rewards players with cryptocurrency and in game assets.

You did not but I thought it a good time as any to let you know my current plans for purchase and transfer.

I was being polite

Correct you were polite, as you always are. I was trying to be the same with giving a time frame. In truth I would of purchased & transferred today but I was out running errands most the day.

I bought the one I qualified for myself this afternoon. Its dragon so I will use it alot probably.

Nice, good luck in your battles.

That's actually a really good idea. They'd have to be rare though, like packs. We don't need bots hoarding them until EoS and then spamming games...which is the point of the new system.

I agree and funny enough.

The nine year old said just that but I forgot to mention it.

"make them rare"

Was what they said.

This would create another bot loop 😌

Sadly, you just might be right. I didn't give much thought to bots when listening. I was too busy trying to not laugh at the "I ain't paying man" comment.

SPS is in chests. SPS can be burned for DEC. DEC can be used for more battles.

Big brain theory says your nine year old companion is correct.

That is an interesting way to add more battles and I agree that it doesn't seem worth it to pay. Overall, the system has only changed slightly but I also prefer the old system a bit because I think you get back 25% per day.

i dont like the new System. I can only play 24 games per day. And i am not paying 150 dec per game in Gold/Diamond, because i dont earn 150 dec per game.

Yes they are fast at picking thing because of this technology, but i think Technology has some bad impacts also.

Normal the 9 year old just wants to play. And the game designers want you to play too, but not for free.
