Its almost a totally different game now. It really is cool to see how changes to rewards can transform everything.
The thing about the jump CP that was relaly crazy is that while it did spike on the last day, it was renting for over 100% APR even without that last day ramp up. It was be far the most profitable way to enter the rental market. I think this way is far better and encourages a much more interesting game. Part of the reason I stopped playing was because when CL came out, the lower leagues became the same game over and over again. Bots just played the starter cards until they got five wins. Nothing else mattered. Some would o it in in bronze 3 and some would rent some CP and do it in Silver 1. It's so much better and more interesting already.
There are still lots of bots renting junk CP in the same way that many higher level accounts are just sitting on cards they don't play in order to maintain CP. But now its just the bots who are advanced enough to also rent playable decks that win who are scooping it up. Most of the bots that were renting that CP all season don't know how to do that so they are gone so there's an oversupply. Once those bots figure it out or sell the accounts to more advanced bot builders, that junk CP strategy should come back. But when it does, the strong card strategy won't be taking the backseat role like it has been for the past several months. People/bots will rent strong cards first in order to win with real cards and Cheap CP will be secondary but still necessary like it is for human players.
If I'm right, there won't be anything to address. Honestly, I'm loving splinterlands more by the day. This fall off gave me pause but a few hours after I posted this, my rentals surpassed what they would normally be by this point int he season with only 1/3 the player base. The potential right now is astounding and I feel really terrible for the people who went all in on the CP strategy, are hurting now, and are panicking out without seeing the other side of the market foreshadowing a return.

You raise a good point about lack of variety due to bots. One thought I had about the chest focus mechanic is that it encourages players to "lock in" to a splinter or theme for a longer stretch which allows for better counterplay. If your opponent is running pure Nature, what do you do? If they know you're running pure Fire, what would they if they guess what you're going to do?
I feel like that's a healthier kinda game theory than what sometimes felt like pure RNG when seeing 5 different decks in a player's history multiple games in a row.
That is interesting. I haven't seen anyone point out the positive aspects of the single splinter focus yet like you just did.
The devs said in the next week or two most of that will change though. They are going to include many more focuses that have nothing to do with splinter. They said you'd still get the occasional splinter focus but most days it would be something else
That might put it back toward to RNG approach but it will also vary up play even more and cause more cards to be taken off the market. One of the downsides of the daily splinter focus is that people can just rent one day for that focus. If your focus isn't splinter focused I think people will rent for a few different splinters each day.
There's so much left to change lots of intended and unintended consequences coming
