I agree with your statment and don't agree at the same time. I absolutely agree that there needs to be a way for novice and bronze players to grow in power and skill without having to spend the money currently required for advancement.
However, Splinterlands understands that the more they give to the novice and bronze level players the more likely it becomes that bots will steal all the money away from all players and destroy the game.
I'm currently composing a very long post on how I think the situation should be fixed but as the game currently sits helping poor players invites droves of bot's stealing all the DEC and I don't think anyone wants that.
