Play to Earn, NOT free to Earn

in #spt2 years ago

There seems to be players who join everyday who are just looking to farm the game for value. All new players are surely welcome. There are a few different kind of players in this game. The ones who will not spend any money to invest in the game and will just grind away for value. Then there is the player who only buys the spell book and grinds value. These two players require knowledge of the meta and mechanics to be able to consistently win with just the starter cards. It is definitely a challenge to be able to just do the daily quests when all you have are starter cards but very doable. Once we get past those players we run into bots who have power in their collection so you cannot take them lightly. They are definitely bots and seem to run the same configurations so you just have to be aware of that. You should be able to beat them almost every time since they are very predictable. I found myself running into these bots and at first I gave them the same thought as other opponents. I would look at their past battles and think about my own. With the bots however you really just think about their past battles and you know they will play the same. These bots are good and the people creating them know how to get the most out of them so these players are very skilled in their own right but they do set it up to be automated so you must use that to your advantage to count on being able to predict them. These players are good for the game because they must be buying/renting cards which helps the value of the game. After you get past the bots you start to battle either OG battle mages with plenty of power or still VERY skilled mages with plenty of power who invested in the game. I like that we can see when people joined because while it is still only speculation you can think about what kind of player would join so recently and have that much power. A VERY serious player. All in all, I see mainly two kinds of players, those that are really invested to Play to earn and those who are just in to profit. To really earn in this game you must invest and the more you invest the more you can earn. It is intimidating for some who never had value in a trading card game let alone a crypto trading card game. I come from a Magic the Gathering background and I am used to my cards going up and down or flopping. Just like MTG, I quickly learned you need the right cards to win. Even if you have the cards to win, you have to know how to win with them. The meta is something you must be aware of and will have a hard time earning if you do not understand it. Just some thoughts for the night. Any thoughts or comments welcome.
