No one said anything about human worth or human character? If Mav title was about any of those things, then there wouldn't need to be Mav Status... Everyone would get it when we earned it through our character.

Maybe it will ease your concerns to remember that the SPL Discord status is not in DAO's control - Mav status was a benefit that Splinterlands promised, and I suspect that they won't want to break that promise. I support that, honestly. However if the community votes that SPS holders want a change like this, it will certainly send a message that something needs to change.

But comparing the current price of 100,000 SPS to the full price of 1000 brand new packs is a bait-and-switch... millions of packs were bought with cheap DEC, often with bulk purchase discounts, and came with free airdrops and other promos, and many were resold or churned for profit. Meanwhile, other people bought SPS at prices many multiples higher than they are now. So comparing the current price of SPS to your sticker price of packs is not really objective.

Right now, the company says that player feedback is valued only if you buy one type of asset - Packs. So everything else: Spellbooks, referrals, Land, Splinterfest tickets, building guilds, buying promo cards, supporting other games, participating in the economy - these are all lesser activities and those voices don't matter?

SPS is the governance token. It is literally, the One Ring to Rule Them All. I get that people made decisions on the Buy Packs model. But if they were designing Mav Status today, I would bet they would prioritize SPS stake to support the flywheel.
