My, my. That is one ugly sign. The people that are so dumb as to need it probably wouldn't be able to work it out anyway. You're putting me right off a visit to Mallorca. 😂

I've seen a few people write about being flagged recently but I didn't realise it was on the rise again. 😢

I'm not sure what's going on with Steem Monsters anymore. Most of my games seem to be matched against higher summoners or bots so it's a pretty frustrating experience. DEC has just made it more so. With people showing off their cards.

It's going to take me a week with my level 2 account to get to 2500 DEC if I play everyday (as far as I can tell) so I can buy an orb. Some people I know already have maxed cards from them.

So, while it sounds like a good idea for the little guy, in that they can earn something other than reward cards, it seems to be that it just increases the gap between those at the top and those in the lower leagues.

Imagine starting out now with a just the initial pack. You'd never get out of bronze.

I was fortunate to have been in at the beginning of play when you could win stuff for free and, apart from the odd legendary, we were all playing with a similar set of cards.

Now I'm short the legendary summoners and all the new ones from the Orbs and then they'll be the ones from the Tron thing.

I'm still plodding on for now but not sure how long I will continue to play as the gap gets ever larger.

It's quite clever really because if you want to continue to improve you have no choice but to buy cards. Which I suppose makes sense. Maybe that's how the gaming world works and I've just been spoiled by the early days. 😁

P.S. I am enjoying seeing the DEC rise. It's less frustrating that trying to win a DQ.
