Splinterlands will end up being just bots and a handful of whales playing. There has been no growth in the market expenditure as their is no pathway for new players to have a real chance to get past the bots without investing a 4 figure sum or spending 10 years playing the game so they leave the game because no one likes to play a games that don't provide a viable time efficient pathway to growth. The writing on the wall came when Splinterlands pushed card packs to $4 to 'improve value of cards' then dumped 15 million packs on the market to only 100k actually people still playing it. A move like this Waka wouldn't be so bad if there aforementioned was addressed and there was a chance for smaller players to win a random card. I love this game but bots and greed are ruining it. Already I know of at least 6 streamers who no longer stream Splinterlands, one of them has 15k followers. Splinterlands needs to encourage more card burns to deal with the influx of cards or the overall market will tank for everyone including the whales. It's easy to sit there as a whale and say this is great and bots a great but your wealth depends on having underlings pushing the market price to prop you up and if there is no one but your own bots to do that, it's all downhill from there and for many of you, your wont have time to sell your cards to willing buyers if the crash comes. The disconnect is real and the release of this card shows it. Sorry to be blunt.

pretty much nailed it man. Ive watched my account go from almost 60k USD to under 30k USD, but even that is not indicative of the real value because none of the cards sell. there is no market for it at the moment and with more and more cards coming in, plus riftwatchers coming, empty promises of land and sps earnings etc.
They have pushed people away and I regret not selling everything when there was a market to sell to.
