I'm a new player to Splinterlands, and I'm really enjoying the game. Most of the other NFT games are glorified loot boxes with a marginal actual game, and a lot of focus on buying tokens for future rewards. Splinterlands is a great game at the core and the play to earn / pay to be top is something I'm ok with.
One comment - it's fairly expensive to buy cards right now and I do like to collect in games. The new expansion can't come quickly enough. Hopefully there's a mechanism with the token to pre-buy packs where us new players can still be eligible with the modest SPS we have staked at this point.
Been fun so far, congrats on the success!
We've never experienced this type of price action for cards or DEC. bear with us all as we enjoy it but also learn the nuances of it! It’s a long, great road but usually with new things being released, the prices of other things come down. I don’t know if the prices of the historical stuff will come down by much considering they are finished printing but it might. Keep playing, stacking cards and enjoying the ride!
