My thoughts on Land rewards on Splinterlands

How does it feel to be rewarded for being a land owner, where I’m from, that’s a pipe dream. Ofcourse you get rewarded when you decide to sell your land at an appreciated price after many years, all things being equal, but what about being paid daily while holding the land, whereby you can still choose to sell at whenever? this is practically reinventing Land ownership.

Ofcourse it feels good. Splinterlands started paying Land owners in $SPS few days ago. Word on the street has it that it’ll be 40 SPS per month, at the moment I’ve gotten about 8 SPS for holding 2 Plot of Lands, so I’m waiting to confirm that by the end of the month. I’m still deliberating on whether to claim as it comes or just accumulate until the end of the month.

It’s nice to claim a lump sum once than to claim in bits but is it effective? Especially when one can be compounding them into the Sps in-game staking for even more APR? Think about it. Anyway, while I’m on that, word on the street has it that’s Genesis League Sports $GLS tokens airdrop for SPS stakers will start next week. Cool stuff.

Crossing my fingers for the best of outcomes as regards that. A new proposal was put out few days ago, with plans to adjust rewards based on card levels rather than CP in order to incentivize leveling up of cards and to reduce bots farming rewards with little investment. What are my thoughts on this.

If you ask me, I’m in support of it. People shouldn’t even have to be incentivized to level up their cards, they should naturally, but I also understand that level cards up can be costly, mehn, this play to earn game is super difficult to set up, there’s so much to balance, so much unpredictable human behaviors affecting the economics of the game.

Wheww. Ofcourse as usual, many are disgruntled as they feel it doesn’t favor new players, but I also understand that skills should matter too, but if everyone played based on skill alone the game will be unsustainable, skills should complement CP, and levels should matter in compiling CP, finding the ultimate balance will be the real game theory every web 3 game will have to break.

But at least, Splinterlands has a foot in the game, we will get it at some point. In the meantime, the price of lands have been seeing some “life” since the reward system began as it draws closer $250, does this signal the beginning of the “rush” for lands on Splinterlands? Time will tell.

Thanks for reading.
