You can earn more with axies than Splinterlands, but it requires greater initial investment. Also with how Sky Mavis does things and the greedy so called managers, the game is truly a mess. I agree that Splinterlands is by far better in terms of gameplay, player support and airdrops. I think we are in the same boat here, playing axies just to recover our investment.
greedy managers mean?
People who got in early, buying more axies than they could ever play to push the prices to the point of unaffordable so that new players had to rent axies from them. And they acted as if they were doing everyone a favor.
