RE: Riftwatchers: Success, debrief, request, proposal, and future sale plans

in #splinterlands2 years ago

My opinion:

First proposal: On the Fence.

  • While it is true that the UX is confusing and a hassle for users to indicate the vouchers/pack quantity manually, Splinterlands devs should already have a contingency plan for this issue as I believe it already happened in the past with Chaos Legion. They should make a system that automatically populates the maximum number of packs that one could buy with the current vouchers and SPS on-hand to remove redundancy. Having a 2-3% increase in promo card print would hurt the price of the promo card itself, no matter how small that percentage is.

Second proposal: Yes.

  • Everyone that participates in the pre-sale is purely in it for the limited edition promo card. If not, they could just buy the packs in the general sale. Common sense right? Hence, I agree with the 100% full refund if they found out that they did not make the cut. It doesn't matter if the company actually holds these refunded packs for promotions, etc as it's merely a transfer of ownership (no inflationary pressures here).

Third Proposal: HARD No.

  • Increasing the time frame to the first 3 minutes of pre-sale would be disastrous for the price of the promo card. A whopping 10% increase in print would more likely result in more than a 10% reduction in value. Not surprising that if that happens, this promo card would have the lowest price of all the legendary promo cards. It is also unfair for the players who bought packs within the hive blocks of the 500k pre-sale limit. It definitely sounds harsh and heartless, but it is what it is.

IMAGINE waiting in line to buy a LIMITED edition Watch or Shoes (fixed supply that is known to everyone). You were the last customer to get it, so you felt lucky. Then the hundreds of people behind you start to riot. To appease these people, the company manufactures more of the items and the employees start to bring them out from the warehouse/storage. I don't know man, it feels like someone spit on my face and trampled my effort.

Sort:

Yep. The same as what is in place for the purchase of CL packs.
