RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Restrict Gladiator Cards Below Silver League
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I rarely interact or comment on proposals, since Im not actually expert or somethin, or have deep insights on things. But, I do know 1 thing, this proposal is for the bot-farmers in the bronze league. some will say, bot are banned in modern. But not all of them., and these bots doesnt usually use gladiator cards. they use rented cards and quite good at imitating players and you might think it is an actual players since the placement of cards are really that good.
but the point is. banning gladiator cards will essentially make the reward card summoner quite useless. with its high mana use, and only 1 ability it can provide. its better to have no gladiator rule set than outright ban gladiator cards.. let the summoner that have conscript to use gladiator, and remove the gladiator rule set.
or
if they really ban the gladiator cards in the summoners... Lower down the mana usage of reward summoner to 2 or 3. since 6 is too much for a 1 ability. or better yet, let them ban conscript ability but make the reward summoner card grant abilities like the new rebellion cards.
if the author of the idea behind this proposal is really aimed to ensure the new and returning players can enjoy the game, then put also a gladiator cards as a starter cards.. that way, they can use it when there is gladiator rule set, and or when they get a summoner reward card thru playing. they can also use the gladiator starter card.
rather than patronizing bot-farmers, i think the by leveling the gameplay that you think is quite unfair or OP, then let then also use it in a simple way. make it starter cards.. if they use it, they get no reward sps but new and returning players can have a grasp of the ability and usage of the gladiator cards.. if they want to have them let them play in the brawls, or at least collect merits to be able to buy gladiator pack and try their luck.
whether we dig deep or analyze this proposal or not, in the end result here, only those bot-farming that have coded to not use the gladiator cards will benefit, not the so called new and returning players.
Great comment!

Thank you! This part of your comment is my favorite. I was going to suggest the same thing. If the issue for new and returning players is access to Gladiator cards, then a better solution would be to make Common and Rare Gladiator cards accessible to players as Starter cards. Starter cards were a huge help for me when I started playing Splinterlands right at the beginning of Chaos Legion; this would be a viable option for players who start their first brawls. I'm sure that appropriate parameters can be put in place to make this work as well.
Long story short: don't ban Gladiators; make them Starter Cards.
