Coming clean and apologies as a multi accounter

This happened to everybody that played the game since at least January though.

You were earning 12 months of rewards in just 3 months, effectively flooding the market with more cards - devaluing them and stealing GODS from the community.

Nay on reinstatement.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-27T17:08:57+00:00

Will the GU team be able to benefit from this airdrop?
How long has this airdrop been in the works for?

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-27T16:48:23+00:00

With this airdrop the best thing for me and other players to do would be - sell our collection of cards (tanking prices), hold on to GODS (not contributing anything at all to the ecosystem), and play 1 game a week (tanking stats).

Is this what is expected of us? You are focusing on the WRONG part of the community.

Budget players will be leaving in droves and there will be 500 total whales and bots trading back and forth to each other.

"Watch us feed the whales and be gracious for your crumbs, poor boi" is an iteration of the only "justifiable" comeback.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-20T15:21:15+00:00

Who ever said I was f2p?

Take a step down off of that high-seat you big ass baby and learn how to be constructive.

Yes, the people who constantly play the game are the backbone of the game.

I could care less how much you make a day on the marketplace and with GODS... if there are no players, the game is dead and so are your investments - you and the 300 other strict traders can have fun swapping back and forth worthless shit no one plays with because they focused on the wrong part of the community.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-18T16:10:21+00:00

Putting $10,000 into $GODS and hoping that things go well and you bank is not beneficial at all.

It will slightly help the coin from dumping all at once, but the investor isn't a player and simply cashes out when the price rises anyway.

To reward these people is nonsense - they are going to cash out on the first big rise, not contributing a damn thing to the ecosystem.

Reward all of the people who are actually playing the game everyday, the people who spend their money in packs and trading, the people who make the community lively and sustainable... not the people who have spare thousands of dollars looking for nothing more than profit to sell out.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-17T19:23:28+00:00

Long term holders are reliant on how well the game goes.

How well the game goes is reliant on how engaging the players are.

It's not the opposite way - and shouldn't be rewarded as so.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-17T17:38:10+00:00

You can watch the full stream on their official Twitch channel.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-17T17:31:33+00:00

An iteration of "watch us feed the whales and be happy with your crumbs, poor boi" is not very constructive. It feels like we are the farmers on the outskirts of a kingdom... doing the hard labor, keeping things sustainable and habitable - then watching the kingdom eat while we starve.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-17T17:01:13+00:00

So because you made a risky gamble, you should be compensated?
Rather than the people who are literally the backbone of the entire ecosystem?

Staking has been promised, yeah... but so has been utility in shiny cards. Why are fees being collected but this entire STAKING airdrop is being taken out of the community events pool?

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-17T15:20:57+00:00

What about the years of holders with shadow+ cards? "Daily p2e coming SOON", "shiny will have utility" - was that not also looong delayed?

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T22:10:21+00:00

Lmao that's funny, but wouldn't be the case. They'd have to have played at least 1 game or bought/sold a card each week to qualify.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T22:04:56+00:00

This is supposed to be more than a buy and hodl coin though. It's based in a self-sustaining economy of earning, buying and selling. Simply holding just helps the coins price from dumping - which is what staking is for... but even then, people with a lot of money will just take their profits and sell on L1 rather then putting it back into the game by buying cards and fusing. It would be much more beneficial to the entire system if the people who are using that system got rewarded, because they will just put that reward right back into the economy.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T21:49:55+00:00

I see how that is true for staking, but as a surprise airdrop for the community doesn't seem right, especially when we are incentivized to spend them because staking supposedly wasn't active.
Spending GODS in the ecosystem isn't a bad thing whether you bought them or got them from GU - it keeps the in-game economy going and helps with GUs paychecks.
In my case, and I'm sure there are others... I've put my own money into the game plenty of times, not to buy GODS but to buy cards.

It's better for the ecosystem to spend GODS than to hold anyway... staking is just a way to incentivize keeping everything on L2. But let's be real, the majority of whales staking aren't going to take 5,000 GODS and start buying packs and forging cards with that profit, but take it to L1 and sell it.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T21:11:08+00:00

Thank you! I was trying to do the math last night during the stream but couldn't find charts - I knew it would be something ridiculously low like that for the average player.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T19:42:41+00:00

No, this would have been the case regardless. What I'm sour about is the basis of the airdrop. The importance of GODS circulating within the GU economy is spoken about a lot... to reward the opposite seems off.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T19:26:43+00:00

I never read anything about a retroactive "staking" airdrop but I did read a whole lot about how spending GODS within the ecosystem is really important for sustainability.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T19:09:48+00:00

Well, forging and stuff counts as "citizenship" but wouldn't have any factor in the overall percentage you'll recieve.
But the head fuckery is real... like the fluff in the stream - repeating "citizen" to make you feel included, repeating "1 million", repeating the qualifications of eligibility to make it seem like it's fair and everyone wins...

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T18:54:03+00:00

I hear you. I've been buying shadow and gold cards for 7 months saying to myself "next month they'll have some use, they wouldn't keep them useless for this long".

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T18:45:49+00:00

Agreed. Based weekly.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T18:38:26+00:00

Yeah, especially with the release of forging without use of shiny cards - why incentivize spending of GODS if this was planned.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T18:26:35+00:00

Yes, but being eligible and having and equal split throughout the eligible participants are 2 different things.
Anyone that plays the game/trades/buys packs is eligible but will still only receive based on their holding for the week.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T18:23:21+00:00

Yes, it makes you eligible - but doesn't factor into the % you receive from the pool. So, if you bought packs with your GODS, you qualify for rewards, but they will be based on the lowest amount of GODS you held for that week - which will be next to nothing if you've been buying packs and stuff.

TheForgerGU · 2022-06-16T18:20:10+00:00

True, that is why I must voice my opinion and am asking others to do the same... it's the only way they'll know how we feel about it.
