Greetings, esteemed Splinterlands enthusiasts!
In our previous article, we discussed strategies to encourage players to purchase a spellbook in Splinterlands. Now, let's focus on how we can further incentivize new players to stay and engage with the game. With the recent ban on bots in Splinterlands, it is now possible to remove the starter card penalty for Bronze Modern. This penalty was initially introduced to mitigate the impact of bots but can now be reconsidered to facilitate a smoother entry for new players.
Eliminating Discouragement:
By removing the starter card penalty, we can prevent new players from feeling discouraged or overwhelmed by paywalls. This adjustment would allow them to gradually explore and experiment with different cards, helping them build their decks strategically without any unnecessary barriers. This approach ensures that new players can fully enjoy the game without feeling restricted.
Optimized Onboarding Process:
One of the key advantages of Splinterlands is its accessibility for new players. By simply purchasing a spellbook, players can dive right into the game without having to spend hours researching strategies or renting cards. This streamlined onboarding process ensures that newcomers can start playing and earning rewards immediately, enhancing their overall experience.
Building Trust:
Removing the starter card penalty contributes to building trust within the community. Players will feel confident that their investment in a spellbook is worthwhile and that they are not being penalized for starting at a lower level. Trust is crucial for fostering long-term engagement and encouraging players to become active participants in the game.
Simplifying Deck Delegation:
Currently, as a temporary solution, players have the option to delegate a deck through NFTY Arcade. However, this process is more complicated and requires additional effort for new players, assuming they even find this option. By removing the starter card penalty, we eliminate the need for such complex measures and provide a straightforward experience for all players.
Addressing Concerns about Resource Drain:
Some may argue that allowing new players access to starter cards would deplete the pool of available sps. However, it is important to note that if these same players were given full decks through NFTY Arcade, they would consume even more resources. Therefore, this argument is not valid, as the impact on resource availability would be even less with the removal of the starter card penalty.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, removing the starter card penalty for Bronze Modern in Splinterlands would greatly benefit new players and enhance their overall experience. By eliminating unnecessary barriers, we can prevent discouragement and allow players to gradually explore different strategies without feeling restricted by paywalls. This adjustment contributes to an optimized onboarding process and builds trust within the community. Ultimately, it will encourage new players to stay and actively participate in the game, fostering a vibrant and engaged player base.
Warm regards,
Bronko
