I'm ok with the amount of currencies although I'm on the fence about vouchers. I have almost 200k SPS and I get like 3.5 per day out of a massive 40k that keep getting printed. Its especially painful to think I have a top 1% card collection so it seems like I shoud be benefitting somewhere in the game from that. A decent rental market would make me pretty happy.
The problem I keep seeing with the different currencies and all these assets is that they jump back and forth on which ones benefit you where. Untamed gets pushed out of modern so its time to sell those and buy rebellion. Oh, GLX gives you an airdrop so sell Splinterlands assets and buy GLX. When SPS was airdropped, it gave a reward for absolutely everything. COLONY should have done the same. That was a missed opportunity.
I fully agree about cards. Matt's insistence that land is enough is the one place where I wholeheartedly disagree with him. Sending bots to wild destroyed all card values completely and made sure they were a bad investment. I've been pushing for anything to burn these cards for years now and after years we're finally going to get a card burning event that probably won't make a dent. When I talk to "influencers" they think cards aren't a problem but cards are still the largest asset class by far in the game. Last I checked they were bigger than SPS, land, DEC, Licences, and all the rest of it combined, yet they are treated like they don't matter. I keep saying it but if they want this game to take off, concentrating on their largest asset class is way more important than even SPS.
Luckily they are trying to do that with the new cards but it doesn't change the fact that old cards are being cast aside which means we all know the new cards will one day be cast aside. When Chaos Legion hit, the narrative amongst new players was that one day these cards would be the envy or tomorrows new players. Then they introduced modern and wild. And then they made wild into such a wasteland that people are trying to get proposasls passed to remove SPS from wild entirely.
re: new players, I just don't see them coming until we fix the card supply and show that old cards still matter. The weight of the card supply will continue to slow down adoption.
