I like Splinterlands, I won't deny it. However, there are always things that end up driving me away from the game again, whether it's lack of time, the amount of misses that turn the battles into a game of luck rather than strategy, among other things. These annoy me for a certain amount of time and then as in any toxic relationship I end up going back to play it. Lol... And btw I think I also bought my starter pack 3 years ago.
Yesterday when I decided to walk away again I seemed to see something that disappointed me too much. When I went to sell my cards I discovered that they can be paid for with credits and these credits in turn can only be used as in-game currency, unlike the DECs that you can sell in Hive Engine. This bothered me a bit since if that's my money I'm supposed to be able to do what I want with it. I hope to be wrong or that no one buys a card from me with credits. Lol
You are wrong. Every time credits are used to buy cards from players, they are used in the background to buy back DEC from the market and the owner of the sold card gets DEC. The only way you can get credits is by making a $$$ purchase from within the game. It is impossible to move credits from one account to another and would also go against US regulations, as far as I understand it.
Thank you so much for explaining this to me. I was honestly disappointed about it.
