Nice to see this data, thanks for selecting me and the tag. I did sell off a chunk of my SPS for hive, I'm trying to get to 10k HP soon. It's impressive to see how the others on here are growing too.
It's true, I am confident in the long term vision and committed to the hive ecosystem. Unfortunately I don't have the budget to keep up with modern in SPL, so I'm focusing my efforts growing on Hive. If and when we get a new set of reward cards, I'll look to buy or rent more SPS to increase glint earnings. I always try to max out the rewards cards for each set, that's probably my favorite thing about playing Splinterlands now since brawls have mostly died out.
Brawls are still my favorite thing, maybe you need to change to a different guild? Tier five brawls are very competitive and fun.
T5 is fun but not as competetive as it used to be. Many frays are filled with underpowered decks, or abandoned accounts. Plus many players have max gladius cards now, so the motivation isn't there to earn merits like before. We won our last two T5 brawls even with having a couple of players flee all battles.
Everything shows up from a good plot.
Yes there are always many things to buy
