- That is only true for Chaos legion, which is one of several sets. Ive been encouraging my guildmates to buy untamed and other sets that will be used in modern format. Prices of those will likely shoot up alot when that battle mode releases and running up to it.
2.They did limit themselves. They designed the tokenomics and proportions of SPS that would be used for various purposes before the private sale. These numbers were released before the private sale, so they had to hold themselves to the amount of SPS they publicly stated would be sold to private investors, and they did just that.
3.As with any game, there must be a fine balance with combatting bots without compromising the gameplay for regular players. What they have done in the past 6 months has drastically reduced the bot profitability and incentive to bot.
bots can never be permanently stopped on decentralized applications. its hard enough to stop them on centralized games where you can force people to prove theyre a unique individual. Bots can be disincentivized, and they have been more than ever the past 6 months. go read the discord, many people asking questions about bots, the consensus is that its no longer worth it.
Youre acting like Chaos Legion cards are the only Splinterlands assets that exist. You use the umbrella term "Cards" but you seem to only be referring to the latest set, as the older sets are all sold out. "Coordinated Money Grab" is quite the mischaracterization. Is McDonalds selling me a McChicken for $1 also a "coordinated money grab"? I guess anything a business ever does to make money is a "coordinated money grab". No one is forcing you to buy chaos legion cards. Theres plenty of other cards from older sets. This was alll known before you bought the cards too. They didnt release the packs then say "by the way theres gonna be 15 million packs". Youre literally complaining about a business selling a product that you bought before looking into how many packs would be minted. All that information was publicly available.
Everyone knows chaos legion cards will drop in price in the general sale. No one forced you to buy these and it was all predictable based on the information that was publicly given before the packs were sold. Once again there 80% of the assets in this game dont even fall under the umbrella of things your complaining about because all the packs were already sold.
