I have talked to DC and multiple community members about all of this for about a month or so. This is why we had the ama with the CEO and staking requirements have been implemented. Yes it's a delegation and it is meant to be either/or so that renting SPS was not an option.
At this point there is a pretty damn even split of people saying give staking a chance and people saying pull the rewards entirely. If things don't improve soon, it's going to be the second option.
The good news is... since I have been actively playing this game since day three... I have seen a number of things get solved... some get messed up... and of course... some really "wtf" moments lol 😁
I fully believe this project has a LOT of potential but there are some serious, yet simple issues that must be rectified.
I'll be writing a follow up post shortly with some of these issues and resolutions that could/would solve them without greatly impacting the players involved :)
