I would like to see the .75% for a referral selling their assets be removed from this. That would make it a minimum of 1.25% burned instead of .5%. But beyond that, if this is successful and brings in new players, I would hope the increase in market activity and asset prices would more than make up for the percentage drop.

My thoughts on waiting...

All of us came here when the game was in worse shape that this and we figured it out. There's no reason we suddenly can't handle new players just because improvements are coming. Improvements are always coming. We can't wait for perfection to move.

Splinterlands has this really bad habit of waiting for a thing that never happens instead of just fixing the problems we have. We are always waiting a few weeks or months when X happens and the problems fix themselves. But over and over again that thing we have to wait for never seems to come or it doesn't actually fix anything when it gets here. It is doubtful this NPE/hire a marketer thing will be any different.

Honestly, do you think we're going to be able to hire a marketer who is good enough to turn this around and bring in tens of thousands of players after we add one click rentals and a new battle screen? I would think someone like that would be working with the projects that can actually pay them what they're worth (which is a lot if they can reliably turn multimillion web3 projects around).

Matt has already told us we can't afford to hire a marketer right now. It's unlikely rebellion sales are going to turn around when we're losing players at a faster clip than we're gaining them. In 6 months, their finances will probably be worse than they are now if we don't get new players in before then.

We're web 3. Currently there is no incentive for web 3 influencers to send players to us. That's a problem that doesn't get better because of NPE. Any web 3 marketer is going to come in looking to rally influencers and they will have no tools to do it. This would give them some tools.

I just don't see a reason to wait on this like we wait on everything else. If the team can't do it. Let's try to get the DAO to move on it 🤷‍♂
