RE: When it is Better to Burn a Card Instead of Selling it: a Case Study to Explain it! + Considerations about Active Draft Proposals (ENG/ITA)

I also voted no for all those proposals. The increase of the fees would be terrible for the game. They are already too high. Market fees used to be 5% and even at the time my thought was "why don't we have an interface to do peer to peer trading without any fees or risk of scam?" They've been raised to 6% and now the 10% would be insane. The listing fee also never made sense to me. There should be no listing fee. It was only created because there were some relisting services that kept adjusting the prices of rentals over and over again, undercutting other people, which caused massive server issues. Instead of a listing fee there should be a relisting fee. Any card that has been listed for sale or rent in the past X days, has to pay a big fee to be relisted. It could be 10 or even 100 DEC. That's enough to stop mass relisting without affecting normal users.

I voted no for the new set not because of anything in it but because of the timing. Ever since Untamed, a new core set was released every 2 years (give or take a month). This would give 4 years of modern for every set. However, this proposal days that the new set will be released on April, taking about 6 months of modern from CL. CL buyers are by far the biggest losers in Splinterlands. Not only in terms of monetary value but also in gameplay. For a long time, those who had only CL had to fight against not just Untamed but also Alpha and Beta. Only much later was modern introduced. They still had to face several OP cards from Untamed that were too scarce to get. While older players were able to use earnings from older sets to buy CL, the same can't be said about those who started with CL. We had to choose to invest more in Rebellion or just suck it up and fight without it. And now to have even less time in modern than expected, it's just not good.

I also believe that there should be schedule for sets so that players know how long they have until their cards are not in modern anymore. That isn't something that should change at will because it destroys trust.
