Hello everyone, welcome new faces and returning strategists! In this issue, we'll walk you through the key economic and strategic aspects that impact the leaderboard, helping you make more informed decisions and outperform your competitors. It's important to better understand the big time rewards in-game actions and the reasons that drive player behavior from a macro perspective.
Understanding the reasons behind these decisions is essential to make better decisions in the third round and understand the risks involved. As we move into round three, here's how points are awarded for various in-game action rewards, including the new ones we've covered before:
Rank up: Low points.
Prestige Portal: Medium Credits.
Operation Time Guardian: High Points.
Operation Armory: Very high points.
Daily and weekly game bounty completion: Medium points.
7 Day Challenge: Low to Very High.
Quarterly Milestones: Low to Very High.
Weekday Madness: (This time is to be confirmed).
From this point of view,The two main categories of incentives for BigTime are rewarding active players and players who are actively involved in the game economy. However, as things stand, they are more focused on rewarding in-game economic activity rather than regular in-game behavior. The only way to consistently earn high or very high reward points is to craft or upgrade items of higher rarityThus earning higher points, which is exactly what the Big Time team emphasized in their blog post.
The Action Points for the third round of the leaderboard will closely reflect the approach we took in the second round. We are particularly pleased with the results of that round. What's more,Players are clearly motivated to increase their rarity, rather than just focusing on crafting items of lower rarity.
But why this approach? While many players understand the drivers behind this, Rokusa Bigtime believes that it is important to explain this not only for the third round of the leaderboard, but alsoIt is also crucial for the long-term viability of the entire era。If the in-game economy collapses, it can lead to a significant drop in player numbers or even a massive loss of players, similar to the problems we had in the early days of games like Axi Infinity.
Now let's discuss the concept of a token loop. Token circulation is essential for the health of the in-game economy. Bigtime encourages players to use tokens in-game, creating a cycle that is constantly being re-invested into the ecosystem, ensuring that they continue to be available for other players to earn.
Why is it important to have a sufficient token circulation or a way to attract people to use tokens in the game? In crypto gaming, when players are encouraged to spend their tokens in-game, they are less likely to withdraw them and put them on exchanges**. This is important because when a large number of tokens are sold, there is so-called selling pressure. Selling pressure increases the number of tokens available in the market** without matching demand, which can lead to a decrease in the value of the token. That said, too much selling pressure could push down the BIGTIME token**.
If you have some basic knowledge of economics, we know thatIf the increase does not receive a corresponding or steady demand, it will lead to a decrease。This is exactly what we want to avoid in the big time.
We've observed this in many crypto games, not just Axi Infinity, but it's a repeating cycle. When players don't have a strong incentive to use tokens in the game, the economy becomes unbalanced and eventually collapses. The game began to lose its player base and relevance, eventually turning into just another forgotten name as players moved on to the next promising game in pursuit of short-term financial gains.
So, leaderboard airdrop campaigns aren't just about winning games; It is to create a sustainable economic environment within the big time, encouraging players to recycle and use tokens in a way that benefits the entire gaming ecosystem.
This is emphasized because leaderboard events are a key driver that encourages players to spend their Big Time tokens in the game. Understanding this concept is crucial as it helps you understand that different types of in-game actions may earn you more points. Based on our past observations,Activities that involve more Big Time tokens often earn more points, which is a strategy that consciously motivates certain players to act, especially those that help regulate the game's economy and manage the token**.
Another aspect of this strategy is the phased distribution of token rewards. Unlike a one-time reward airdrop, which is released gradually on a weekly basis, this method is also designed to prevent a sudden influx of tokens into the market, which could otherwise cause too much seller pressure, destruction**.
Let's get back to the action of earning more points. Basically,Actions that require more Big Time tokens are likely to be more rewarding in terms of points. On the contrary,Actions that don't require bigtime may be unlikely to yield significant integrals. In line with the event objectives, it makes sense that activities like running a reputation portal or charging an hourglass don't get too high a reward. Why? Because they indirectly lead to a potential increase in tokens without spending bigtime in-game, again causing more tokens to be withdrawn from the game, ultimately affecting bigtime.
I wanted to explain this because there are quite a few people in the BigTime Discord who have bluntly complained about not adding points to these types of actions. But when you understand it from a macro perspective, it makes sense. This is how they try to balance the economy. The official focus is on creating enough token circulation to ensure that the balance of the economy remains stable.
In addition,Another benefit of leaderboard activity is theoretically to increase the demand for the token, in which large players will buy it on exchanges and spend it again in-game, circulating the currency, i.e., bigtime, in the game economy that is given back to players. Knowing this will not only help you succeed in leaderboard events, but it will also help you understand the risks of Big Time and how to navigate in Big Time or any future crypto games you play. Your success in this leaderboard event or your reaction to it depends not only on your game skills, but also on your skillful coping and contribution in the in-game economy.
