The number of blockchain users has exploded thanks to the success of Splinterlands.
Which used to be so much better in the past. I am here since 2017.05.17. I am playing Steem Monsters/Splinterlands since 2018.12.30. Nowadays you need luck to receive reward cards. Even in the higher tiers. They were completely natural and obvious in the past. Even in the lowest tiers. I still remember receiving at least one reward card (sometimes even more reward cards) per day for completing the daily quests.
Nowadays I rarely play Splinterlands
I hope that there will be more good (and real) video games on the Hive blockchain. It has huge potential. We need good game developers.
For example the @psyberx looks very promising.
Happy Forkday!
Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Isn't this all more related to the internal rules of Splinterlands, and not to the Hive blockchain itself?
That being said, more games on Hive can only be a good thing.
Happy Forkday @xplosive 🎂
Yes, of course, but it also affects the Hive blockchain. There are people, who use their Hive accounts just/only to play Splinterlands. So less active Splinterlands players could easily lead to less active Hive blockchain users.
Good point
For all the scarcity are the cards atleast worth more now?
Older (especially the alpha and the beta) cards indeed worth more than a few years ago, but the value of the newer cards fell a lot since the introduction of the Chaos Legion.
Hmm. Something really has to be done, when scarcity doesn't mean value it's really messed up. You mean even the newer cards are scarce and lesser in value?
Quite the opposite. There are cards with more than 150 000 cards in circulating supply. The supply is much more than the demand. This is why their value is low. And a large part of the supply is in the hands of the same people. Very similarly to the real world. The "selected few" are rich, the rest are poor. The middle class is almost non-existent. Many people play the game daily to get a few alchemy and legendary potions, instead of reward cards. I read in the recent past that there will be changes in the reward system. Hopefully those changes will be in the benefit of the players.
Hopefully. I think one can almost bank on the fact that the team would keep tweaking things to make things better.
