you think i am just looking not for bigger view?
based on this post yes. almost everything you said talked about whale benefitting. I feel Splinterlands has been doing a good job balancing both sides of course slightly leaning towards the whales. It's normal for any type of business; you have to protect your biggest stakeholders.
In my opinion, So far everything has been decent after @DaveMccoy took over besides the BFA, BF, GFA affecting the conflict airdrop. They made it impossible for the middle to lower end participate in it which I feel is a mistake since the airdrop should be encouraging everyone to buy packs especially new players.
multiply the earning powers and little by little can grow to be part of whale or even replacing the whale it self but takes a lot lot lot of hardwork and times.
then what do you expect to be instant millionaire? In the end, this is a game with defi elements. You are also paying for "entertainment" and enjoying the game. People spend a lot of money on hearthstone, yugioh master duel but in the end they can't sell the cards. Splinterlands changes this. You can have ownership of a game you like and sell if you decide to quit. It's also one of the crypto web3 games that are still building. Have you seen what's happening in crypto gaming now? There are so many projects that are announcing that they are not continuing.
And how many people will doing that?
people are free to do what they want to do. That's the whole point of Splinterlands. You want land buy land. You want cards buy cards. You want the shiny cards then you buy the shiny cards. Nobody is forcing anybody to do anything really. It's up to what the person wants from the game. Some maybe just want to play for fun (they can play frontier)
You gave some amazing responses here @shawnnft !!!
