You know I did say that I heard them say it was coming. But I didn't think the white paper said it. I wanted them to change it because it seemed wrong. I still think it needs to be updated as it took a while before someone could really explain how this was going to work.
I still think it will be bad for cards. If you join the game and buy cards and they play the game and you earn nothing. That is bad. I mean they put money into the cards. They have skin in the game. But now we say well you have to get like 5000 SPS and stake it before you can earn at a good. That is 5000/6000 or only 83% of what you use to earn here. Then if you are playing in silver which should be a good place to start. It will take months to earn back that 5000 SPS. I know we want players that are not just here to make money. I am just not sure new players will like this.
