A I the only one who absolutely hates Splinterlands? I wish I never wa ...

Yeah, it's a bit rough. I feel like it is at it's 'Axie Infinity' stage currently where newer players really have to work on it for hours just to get a meager amount of something. Blockchain dApps are still in their early stages though and hopefully more dApps with gameplay begin to appear!

Well, I don't hate it, but I don't love it as much as I do...

Are you planning on selling everything you have from it? If you played it enough you should've already got your $10 back. (Probably.) From this viewpoint, it's better than Gacha games: https://youtu.be/V2JCllm9yDc

Actually, I think any Play2Earn game that becomes mature enough will reach the Effort to Rewards level that #splinterlands has now. There will be people who play as effeciently as possible and sell for as low as possible and earn income from it.

Chances it won't get better...

I don't think I really have anything worth selling. I'd enjoy it if I could just figure the damn thing out. But it feels like such an uphill climb all the time

I'm looking forward to the PsyberX release. I'll be interested to see how that game performs

The thing is in splinterlands, (if you see it as an investment and not a game at least,) you're investing your time to earn a few tokens and cards that theoretically will be worth 10x times as much when they become rare in the future.

ALPHA/BETA cards are weak right now, but they have higher prices because they're rare... The same thing will happen for every set Splinterlands publishes.

...This risk-reward promise is the reason people buy cards now, and spend days earning a few dollars in DEC/SPS.

Yeah... What's the point of it being a game if that's its primary purpose, I'd say. The way I see it, if it's designed primarily as an investment and not as a balanced game, it's VERY poorly designed.

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of that approach. I play games to enjoy the game, not make some kind of investment. If they game itself isn't fun to play, then the game is pointless. I guess I really am the only person who hates it!

High five! Haha!

That's one of my criticisms of Play2Earn games, it's very hard to strike that balance & even harder to keep it after reaching it.

"I play games to enjoy the game, not make some kind of investment. If the game itself isn't fun to play, then the game is pointless."

It is a balanced game, it might not be fun for you, (or fun in general,) but as far as balance goes... It's balanced enough.

As for, me, it's a bit fun but not so much that I go out of my way to play it every day. So, I get your frustration.

Alright, that makes me feel a little better... !PIZZA !WINE

Amen to that. I'd rather it be play AND earn, rather than play2earn. Rising Star does it well, and I have enjoyed it immensely since I started getting more familiar with the strategy of it and such.

Play and Earn could be a good marketing slogan for a P2E game!!

So long as that is what it would actually be... I have high hopes for PsyberX, but even that has the potential to be more "pay to win/play to earn" I really hope they don't fuck it up.

Hoping with You!
