What is Learn & Earn’s Reward Mechanism?
Since Learn & Earn started, we have always rewarded players on a first-come, first-served basis. This means that the fastest players to submit a quest receive rewards. In response to user feedback highlighting the challenge of earning rewards and the pressure to quickly complete quests, Learn & Earn is trying out a new reward distribution system. This change is intended to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to earn rewards for their effort and hard work, even if they may not be able to participate right away when a quest launches.
We want to continue rewarding our very dedicated players who are there at 1200 hrs GMT+8 to start questing, so a portion of the rewards will be reserved for the fastest players. The remaining rewards will be distributed via the new mechanism.
For all quests included in this experimental reward mechanism, it will be stated explicitly in the quests’ introduction.
How it works?
Example 1: Random Allocation Mechanism
Imagine a scenario where a quest provides 1500 rewards, each valued at $1, and 2000 players submit their entries.
1000 rewards are reserved for the fastest players. This means that the fastest 1000 players are guaranteed with the $1 reward.
The remaining 500 rewards are randomly distributed among the 1000 approved players who weren't the fastest to submit. Each of these remaining players has a 50% chance of receiving a reward.
Example 2: Even Distribution Mechanism
Imagine a scenario where a quest provides 1500 rewards, each valued at $1, totalling a prize pool of $1500. 2000 players have submitted their entries.
1000 rewards are reserved for the fastest players. This means that the fastest 1000 players are guaranteed with the $1 reward.
After distributing $1000 to the fastest players, $500 remains in the prize pool. This remaining amount is then evenly divided among the remaining 1000 approved players who have not received a reward yet. Consequently, each of these players will receive 50 cents.
FAQs
1. How will I know if I am one of the fastest players to receive a reward?
Your quest status will be ‘rewarded’ and you can also view your reward in your list of transactions on the "Balance & Request History" page found under "My Balance".
2. How is the random allocation conducted?
We will use a seed for a random number generator (RNG). The RNG will then generate a list of numbers which will correspond to a player’s submission number.
3. How will I know if I have been rewarded in the random allocation mechanism?
As this mechanism is still in the experimental stage, users who are rewarded via the new mechanism will see the approved status. However, you can view transactions on the "Balance & Request History" page found under "My Balance". If you are rewarded, you will see your reward for the quest as a transaction.
4. How can I provide feedback on the new reward mechanism?
You can visit our Discord server and head to the [ideas-and-feedback channel] channel to share your thoughts.
Disclaimer: This initiative is currently in the experimental phase, with potential changes to how it works. It will undergo limited testing for a while and its future implementation is still uncertain. Any updates will be communicated clearly.
