I propose updating the Terms of Service to limit each player to a maximum of 2 piloted scholar accounts, while keeping any personally owned accounts outside of this limit.
The main reason is skin in the game. When you own an account, you have something to lose. You invested in the cards and assets, so you are directly invested in the game and its future.
With scholar accounts, you are playing with someone else's assets. If one person can manage 10, 20, or more accounts, they can extract value from all of them without having the same level of investment or risk.
A limit would also help keep people who are already invested in Splinterlands invested, rather than allowing a small number of highly skilled players to concentrate control over large numbers of accounts they don't own and extract disproportionate value from accounts they have little personal stake in. With that, lowering the SPS pool significantly.
Proposed rule:
A player may pilot a maximum of 2 accounts owned by another player, in addition to any number of accounts they personally own.
This would require an update to the Terms of Service so the rule is clear and enforceable.
Simple, fair, and easy to understand.
