First Tool to Delegate Resource Credits is Out!
I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, but we have a first tool to delegate RCs already! For anyone interested and looking for it, it looks like this:
and you have simple explanations here from the author of the tool, 
I've been using it already and I like it. The only small issue I have is that the step of the slider is too big at 1%, even at my max RC level. I would also add a finer granularity to the slider, if possible, or if not, add the possibility to edit the amount of RCs to delegate, for more advanced users.
If you've been waiting for an interface from where to delegate RCs, you can use it, it's safe. It uses Keychain for transactions, and it works as intended, I already tested it.
New SPS DAO Proposal: More Rewards for Using Upgraded Cards
The Splinterlands team came forward with another proposal which stirred some controversy. It's not up for voting yet, just for consulting here.
The major discussion point seems to be that players who don't have upgraded cards but have great results with the deck they have/use, feel this would be another favor done to the whales, who can afford to max everything out.
I can understand this position. I was once at a point when I didn't like that I needed to continue investing in the game to keep up with the whales. And, let's be honest, I still don't keep up with the whales, but at least I am in the "middle class", lol.
The problem is not individual. If some guys or gals play the game on their own account (or even a few accounts), and they rise to the top using low-level cards and get access to rewards from higher leagues, that wouldn't matter much for the game economy.
The problem is with big (huge) numbers. If someone controls tens of thousands of accounts doing the same thing because he/she found a recipe that works and it's replicable, that can break the game economy.
The proposal - while not perfect - is another countermeasure that would be taken (if approved), to determine the owners of such bot farms from lower levels to upgrade or rent higher-level cards. It's not the first measure attempted to deal with this situation. The previous ones don't seem to have had the full effect desired.
The bots and how good some of them have become are another discussion.
The proposal and other countermeasures that have already been taken - like splitting the rewards pool based on leagues - are trying to discourage pure farming techniques.
At least that's how I see it. But I may be wrong.
On the proposal, I would like it to be better written than one or two in the previous batch... Normally, I will vote yes.
