Disclaimer:
I am running this proposal at the request of @monsterbank who has paid the burn fee.
This proposal is a reworking of DAO proposal #57, solutions to minimize bot farms, which is being undertaken at the suggestion of Matt in the recent townhall. (youtube - ts: 41:33)
At the same time, it is intended to be an alternative to the ongoing draft proposal from @bronko to minimize bot farms, which envisages curtailing the card rental market as a means of achieving the goal.
Since such an intervention could be perceived by the community as too severe and detrimental, this proposal aims to give the SPS stakeholders the opportunity to vote on this issue separately by adopting the existing proposals, but still allowing rented cards to count as part of the collection power.
Also u will notice a range in cp-requirements. this is to give the team more flexibility in executing on this proposal.
Goals of this Proposal:
- limiting the single bcx bots, the low value deck bots and the soulbound only bots to a minimum by cutting their abilities to earn disproportionate rewards to the value they provide to the game economy.
- doing minimal harm to genuine players while achieving goal 1.
- presenting solutions that are most cost efficient and practical for implementation into the game.
Proposal:
If this proposal passes, there will be a requirement for collection power corresponding with certain ranking brackets. These requirements must be met in order to continue to receive unrestricted reward distributions. This applies to both SPS and Glint rewards, or other forms of rewards that may be made available in the future.
The requirements for each ranking bracket (league) are:
| League | Ranking Pts | CP Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 260-999 | 1,000 - 49,999 |
| Silver | 1000-1899 | 40,000 - 119,999 |
| Gold | 1900-2799 | 96,000 - 249,999 |
| Diamond | 2800-3699 | 200,000 - 399,999 |
| Champion | 3700 - max | 320,000 - 800,000 |
If a player does not meet the requirements in collection power for the specific league it plays in, then the account can still participate in matches and advance in rating as usual, but the corresponding rating which is used to calculate the reward shares will always be frozen at the highest rating for the bracket where the cp-requirements are met.
For example: a player with a ranking of 1899 and a collection power of 50000 who wins a match shall receive ranking points and advance to gold league but shall receive rewards of the same amount as he would have a ranking of 999.For each league the Splinterlands team may choose the required collection power within the given range as shown above as they deem it the most beneficial for the player experience and game economy.
The Splinterlands team may also freely adjust the cp requirements within given range at a later time if they deem it necessary due to changes in game mechanics or other situations that could arise.
The Splinterlands team may also apply the cp requirement to sub leagues or brackets (bronze 1, bronze 2, etc.) as long as the cp requirements stay within the range for the league.
The respective collection power of soulbound reward cards shall not count towards these CP requirements unless they have become fully unlocked at some future point.
The respective collection power of Ghost/starter cards shall not count towards the cp-requirements.
The Splinterlands team may put a 48h timer on newly delegated cards in which their collection power only counts for the specific account that they have been delegated to.
In case this proposal passes the Splinterlands team shall inform the community about their opinion regarding feasibility and time frame of this proposal in the next townhall after the proposal has passed.
In the case that both this alternative proposal and the current proposal by @bronko to minimize bot farms pass, this proposal would override and nullify the previous version.
