I like where your mind set is for this and tossing in some mini games or chance games would be cool. I for one am of the opinion that less needs to be given up top not more.

Yes it cost more to get to the top but ratio wise just about every wagering type game I play is like this. The poker and other gambling industry figured out long ago ratio wise its best to give more rewards to the lower level players as they are the life blood of any game.

Personally I think that adding more Bronze level Gold tournaments would help allot with bringing value to GOLD Cards. Currently there is only one(?) a week. If I was a person who is just starting my Splinterlands journey and tournametns were my focus I would quickly see that buying entry level golds will only allow me to be on even ground within gold tournaments for one game a week. That alone would be enough for me to skip purchasing them.
